To add... > ”the key observation is that as long as you are right, being misunderstood by most people is a strength not a weakness.” This is (implicitly) only applicable to competitive/adversarial endeavors and not collaborative endeavors. Eg: Say you’re worried about climate change. If your plan is to build a safe harbor and charge people when D-day hits, then the quoted strategy might work. However, if you want to get people organized to face the oncoming challenge, it is very very important to seek to understand he understood (to paraphrase Stephen Covey). Point being, this might not always be the right approach to solve a problem. The same holds, for Eg. if you are trying to get people to adopt your platform.
