Re: No, you are not entitled to your opinion
Me Gusta. Because I can.
Kidding, this is a good way to educate in how to think about and make deciscions for yourself and others.
"If “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion” just means no-one has the right to stop people thinking and saying whatever they want, then the statement is true, but fairly trivial. No one can stop you saying that vaccines cause autism, no matter how many times that claim has been disproven.
But if ‘entitled to an opinion’ means ‘entitled to have your views treated as serious candidates for the truth’ then it’s pretty clearly false. And this too is a distinction that tends to get blurred."
Nice way to put it.
