We live in an age of misinformation, but it’s not always on purpose. Sometimes we hear things or come to conclusions that end up becoming fact in our heads. Other times it can be malicious with intent to deceive or subvert. Sometimes it’s in the middle.

Where do you draw the line with regards to people being wrong about things and feeling compelled to correct or respond to their wrongness?

Am I wrong?

    I don’t really mind nor care when someone is wrong about something as long as they’re not bothering/affecting other people.

    For example:

    Someone believes that flat earth is real. Fine, whatever, you’re not really going to cause any harm with this.

    On the other hand, during the pandemic, when people refused to wear masks/take vaccines. Then it becomes a problem because they’re affecting other people (potentially putting them at risk)
