While I encourage everyone to get vaccinated and am vaccinated myself, I am against the idea of enforcing a vaccine mandate on the principle that a government should not be able to dictate what one puts in their bodies.

1) Are they arguing in good faith? 2) Is what they are arguing for morally/ethically defensible? 3) Do they offer you access to the sources they used to come to their conclusions? If you can answer 'yes' to the above: listen to their perspective with attention, question their assumptions and data sources where needed. If confused, ask them to clarify for you why they have drawn _these_ conclusions from _that_ data. If 'no', don't bother: it's a shill or a troll, not a person worth listening to.

I didn't want content creators telling people what political side they belong to. I was scared I may feel distant or a large group of individuals may feel that way and stop watching the creator.

I agree with this to an extent. I also was so against everyone sharing their "controversial" opinions when they are influential to a lot of people, and for me personally, depending on the audience of the content creator would still be against sharing such stuff, but I think after I started listening and understanding other people's opinions from outside my home, I started to realize it was fine, normal, and healthy. Then, you have the exact reason why people don't want content creators, teachers, whatever talking about such opinions; where they try to force their opinions on you. (Had to unsubscribe from a content creator that I used to look up to for this reason.) There will always be rotten apples in the bunch no matter what side you come from. There will be extremes on both sides for and against while there are middle grounders. Extremes have always been bad because that leads to close mindedness. The extremists are often the ones that will over look others bias', opinions, morals, ethics, etc. just in the name of being "correct". In reality, like Xisuma said, opinions are not cut and dry and that is why we have and need the middlegrounders. 😅 Apologies, I ended up using your comment as a place to ramble.

honestly trying to have conversations about any hot or highly debated topic is exhausting, so i tend to just stay out of it all. i wouldn't even bother getting into an argument with someone online anymore; even if you can get past the barrier of trying to convey meaning and not misunderstanding each other over text chat, people still seem to want to defend their position to the death, ignoring any and all counterpoints. it can be tempting to try and "win", but at the end of the day nobody usually accomplishes anything and everyone just ends up wasting their time. i guess it's just a shame it's come to this because if we can't have proper debates, we all just go back to our echo chambers and achieve nothing there too. and the worst part is, there doesn't really seem to be any sort of solution to this. humans seem to be hard-coded to group up and antagonise the other group, and that just sucks i suppose. the world, i think, would be much better if we were all more willing to be kind, give the benefit of the doubt, and listen to each other more. because even if someone else's opinion sounds insane or stupid or even malicious, most people really do just think they're right. and if you had lived through their life experiences, there's every possibility you would have come to the same conclusions as them.

Even if the rules were 3 mph everywhere, that doesn't eliminate drunk drivers and other things.

Being in a family where my dad’s dad is wanting my family to get the vaccine, and the other where my aunt is very against it… conversations like this are things I like to be careful around, but still talk about. Of course, being at an age where I know everything I’m watching can be very influential, I like to pause a bit and dig deeper into what I’m being told, whom it’s being told from, and even the beliefs that other person has towards the situation. Bit of explanation as to my family: My dad’s dad can be anxious about my family, not that we’re unsafe, but he’s concerned and the media that he’s most likely looking into is adding on to it. Anxious to the point where he probably wants all of us to get it, instead of just my parents. The other side of this is my aunt and her family. My grandparents on my mom’s side aren’t too invested, I think, on the topic, but I don’t believe they’ve gotten the vaccine. However, my aunt is someone who doesn’t trust those in government (in the US) and therefor, doesn’t want to take the vaccine and doesn’t want her family to. Now, my mom is someone who DOESN’T want to stir up problems there, so she’s tried to not really focus on what her sister has to say on the matter, but as my aunt is someone who vocalizes her opinion and believes she’s right and wants the good of everyone else, my family hasn’t avoided hearing her opinions. So yeah, real fun. But I think seeing these experiences now is actually helpful to a degree (for me). I’ve had to think a lot about how to explain my beliefs and opinions in a way that is opening for conversations in politeness and so I can actually BE convincing. And also, just taking the emphasis off of what doesn’t matter, and what, in reality, IS just opinion, so that conversations can be more enjoyable and people will want to hang around me. (This is coming from a person who, back in 6th grade was very opinionated, and believes she was right and needed to convince people to live right as well.) But I mean, maybe this is just my set of beliefs (not opinion, as it’s faith in something and less of just, “I think I’m right about trusting in X political party, etc.”) and my drive to impact and be kind to others just comes from that… idk. It really is interesting to think about how people’s personalities, their situations, their friends/family, and their faiths/religions can impact their opinions and viewpoints in the world. Thanks for another cool “podcast episode”. I like thinking a bit more.

Opinions are like butts. Everyone has one and they all stink

Here in the US still about 10% of people don't wear a seat belt, in Italy that number is so high that a very common shirt to run in to makes it look like you are wearing one. People keep thinking that they have this slam dunk on people where there just isn't a connection to be had. Also that we are in a very bad time where people just don't want to be able to understand each other.

A difference of opinion is good. If we all had the same opinion life would be so boring; just imagine if we all liked the same music, art, films there would be no creativity. However, it is what we do with those differences of opinion that is so important. Learn from other perspectives to open your own horizons; you'd be surpised.

I believe there is always a definitive right and wrong in every unchanging division. Things like favorite color are constantly changing in each mind, it is not solid. Things like wether or not certain actions are morally just or correct are solid as long as there is one deciding factor, that being god. And that is why there is division, there will always be a great many people who deny an obvious truth and simply do not know it. Arguments have dissolved into winning rather than logically comparing and learning the truth. That is why there is division

I too knew covid was going to happen. In fact, a couple of years pre-covid I'd started working on a dystopian novel and had got stuck in the narrative so bought in a worldwide pandemic to twist the plot and focus. I did a lot of research on the topic and was terrified just how inevitable the scenario seemed, just how much information there was, and how unprepared we were! Unfortunately (for my mental health) when covid hit it felt like I was living through what I was writing, and where I took the story was a lot more tragic and darker than the reality - but tbh it could have been SO much worse, covid was mild to what could have happened.

that's an idea that I personally take issue with, because by that logic, things don't neccesarily exist. Objective truths exist, such as it being objectively true that durians exist. Someone can be unaware of the existence of durians, but that doesn't nullify their existence, it only makes their perception of reality different. Now, we can only present what we believe is objective truth from the perspective of our own personal perception of reality, but our limitation to perception being the basis of our understanding of reality doesn't mean that what we perceive cannot be shaped by objective truth. And, even if our assumptions get thrown out the window, such as if it's discovered that this is all a simulation, our understanding of truth would change, but objective truth wouldn't, we'd simply have been wrong about it. TL;DR our incapacity to perceive reality in an objectively perfectly true way does not mean that the objective truth doesn't exist, it only indirectly informs our perception.
