i actually don’t believe all opinions are valid unless we’re talking about purely subjective things like music taste or pizza toppings or what you find sexually attractive in another person or whatever.
if an opinion doesn’t come with any knowledge or understanding of the subject one is carrying an opinion about, it’s just a hunch or an assumption or maybe even a hypothesis. hunches and assumptions can be fine if one is fully aware that they are nothing more than that and are open to being wrong. hypotheses are good if you’re going to actually test out your hypotheses and accept whatever your investigations reveal.
otherwise its all actually kinda dangerous. and anyone who can’t carry the possibility of being wrong about anything does not have an opinion that can be trusted. anyone who is unaware that their assumptions are assumptions and just trusts every stupid thought and belief their talking monkey brain has as true, is potentially dangerous to the world and should definitely not be allowed to make decisions that affect large amounts of people.
and yes i am keenly aware that this all just my opinion lmao.
