How to escape the bubble and reclaim your mind

We are increasingly often told that we live in social media bubbles: we constantly hear the same voices, we encounter the same opinions and we surround ourselves only with ideas that we already find palatable. There is a war going on, and at stake is no less than autonomy of our minds. I would like to present a certain radical ideological proposal. If it is correct - which I don't really know - then leaving our bubble will require us to rethink our systems of value. The reward, however, will be a life that is truly our own.
