Even if I turn off notifications, I wonder what he/she said and go to look again. :/

I mean, imagine not being able to respond to someone who defends the flat world. Even though I don't know enough about this, I trust scientists, even if I can't provide enough arguments that the earth is geoid at that moment, is this a good reason to question my view? We have a lot of beliefs in life that we don't defend very well. If we want to justify all of them, I guess we won't have time to live.

I can't think of a single thing that better demonstrates intellectual honesty than someone actually changing their view when faced with a convincing argument.

What if this argument is actually weak, and only appears strong because you have no counter-argument? Should you still change your mind? Does the fact that it is persuasive mean it is true?

I’m afraid that some people will be misled by this misinformation and that it will become increasingly widespread in society.

 

Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.
