I had a huge amount of time on my hands during covid, one thing it taught me was 'I don't know' is a legitimate answer.
That and returning to education in a subject very much in the public forum showed me how many opinions are based on an incredibly shallow depth of knowledge, not helped by poorly informed or dishonest politicians and commentators
Oh ive been very guilty of it in the past.
I have held stupid views about certain things, as you say, education regarding things changes the perception.
We dont know everything, but in the age of the internet, you have no excuse for not doing just a little bit of research, view multiple sources of a certain topic, get different views and after all that, you still might be wrong and thats ok, its ok to be wrong.
