Personal opinions have become "my lived truth", erasing the value of opinions and eliminating the purpose of facts. Have we wandered apart again for good? Or for bad?
I’d love to argue with you Ric. But I can’t. I agree with everything you said.
I feel that in the last 6 months I’ve just thrown up my hands and said, “ahhh screw it”. Everyone knows everything when in fact most actually know little. And it’s getting worse instead of better. And in the end, you know who gets hurt the most, right? Those creating the divisiveness … and even then, they’re too foolish or too damn proud to even see or realize it.
I see this more and more. The worst is when someone posts a blatant piece of misinformation online, and I address the data and get called out for 'picking on them' or some such drivel. They didn't care about the data; they cared about the signal they sent, so can we be surprised when no one else engages with our data, only their perception of our signal?
