    A few friendly reminders:

    It is OK to be wrong. Smart and kind people will not think less of you for being wrong. They WILL think less of you if you dig in your heels despite being presented evidence that proves you wrong.

    It is OK to change your opinion or view when given new information. This is how we grow as a species.

      I used to be a libertarian and I didn’t believe in climate change. It’s been a long time but neither of those things are true now.

      Exactly, dont give in to the narcissists which exist, the world is brighter than initially thought. We grow as a species by examining each others opinions and logically contesting them - changing our own or others opinions.

      The amount of narcissists and machavellists is not the majority - but they are the loudest, and that loudness is what makes regular people overwhelmed.
