Treat them like people, not specimens. Part of that means recognizing that each is an individual and there is no universal formula for how to effectively relate and communicate with individuals.
- undersuit 7y agoNo, but how can we ignore that, like we do in every other facet of life. I mean un-nuanced thinking has done great for so many of our other problems like: war, homelessness, drug-use, and governance! Joking aside, we might just need to write certain people off and just let them be. We might not have the resources to tackle climate change, feed and shelter an increasingly populated world, and individually talk people out of these entertaining delusions like believing in flat earth or doubting the efficacy of vaccines.
- BitwiseFool 7y agoI don't place Flat-Earthers on the same level as Anti-Vaxxers. First off, I think most flat-earthers aren't sincere, they just love getting attention and a rise out of people. But for those that are sincere, their belief in a flat earth doesn't impact me or society. Someone who believes the earth is flat isn't an ideological threat. So I agree, we just need to calm down and let these loons be.
