We live in an age of misinformation, but it’s not always on purpose. Sometimes we hear things or come to conclusions that end up becoming fact in our heads. Other times it can be malicious with intent to deceive or subvert. Sometimes it’s in the middle.

Where do you draw the line with regards to people being wrong about things and feeling compelled to correct or respond to their wrongness?

Am I wrong?

    The root cause is what we call evidence and if it can be trusted or not. Some people will trust some evidence and others won’t. This is why a person don’t agree sometimes that they are wrong. It’s all relative to what evidence you believe or don’t believe.

      Kinda, but “I saw it on facebook” or “My psychic told me” is not evidence and people need to know that.
