I have quite some guilty pleasures, and one of them is taking #buzzfeed quizzes (how else would I find out what kind of bread I am???) and buzzfeed lists. Also find it quite cool that I get #Reddit content without having to sign up for it 😅
Interestingly, I often come across elements that make me think, like with this post where one point is that we seem to have a lot of work to do in building a healthy culture around making mistakes. Working on #disinformation and #fimi, I take a lot of time explaining to people why not everything is disinformation and why people being wrong is a very different thing, it's normal for human beings and it's not something that we should see as a bad thing per se.
Often, things evolve like in science when we learn something new and that puts the old theories out of work. That's normal. Also me thinking that there are no mountains in #Belgium was not done out of malice but I simply didn't pay enough attention in geography classes.
If people are open to learn new things, to change their views if they are wrong, I think that's just a healthy evolution. So let's not attack people for being wrong but engage in a discussion and learn from each other!
We only have a problem if people stick to their wrong information out of stubbornness or similar reasons and aren't open to reverse positions based on wrong information...
What do you think?
