Depends on the subject matter.
There is no collateral damage if half the planet believes the world is flat. You don't need to be "right" with these people.
Anti-vaxxers are a different story. Their "wrong" directly infringes on my liberty and, thus, yes, being "right" is extremely important.
- Waterfall 6y agoI agree with collateral damage. It's most interesting to me when people carry around a "wrong" belief despite social penalties and damage to their own lives. There's no (or very little) social penalty for being Democratic around me, but to be a republican is very bad socially. Yet people carry it, is it the idea of being right, enjoying controversy or some sort of screening mechanism I wonder? Anti vaxxers don't seem to realistically cause terrible issues in the amounts of them (currently). People who believe HAES seems way more socially accepted yet has a larger impact on the healthcare system, consumer products and food offerings, yet there's way less dislike of them than anti vaxxers. Why is that?
