If you find yourself with a view of reality that massively differs from others, you have two options. (1) Assume they’re irrational, uninformed, and wrong, or (2) Reconsider your priors and attempt to understand why they think the way that they do. Let’s take the “island of garbage”. It was said by a comedian during his set. The Trump campaign stated “this joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign”. The way that you framed it, however, was very careful to be true while also being misleading. | ||
