The Mold Cult
tylerberbert.substack.comA belief isn't False because you don't share it. Neither is it True, because you do.
Make your decisions for yourself, and retain humility about making decisions for others. Community masking might help COVID, or not; but telling people who cannot breathe through a mask that they must have one to participate in society certainly doesn't help anyone. Denying that there can be debate on the question is similarly unhelpful.
Isn't "Diversity of views" a good thing? Weren't we supposed to benefit from a variety of opinions and beliefs and even intellectual capacities being applied to social problems? How has it come to "there's one and only one solution to every problem, it's immediately evident tot the rulers, and anyone who doesn't come along is an Enemy of Society"
Nowhere did I say a diversity of views is bad. A diversity of views about what happens when you die, for example, is okay; we can’t know or prove what happens afterward. But when it stops being a “different view” and starts being a “false belief,” then it’s different. I don’t want people making decisions for me based on false beliefs and neither should you.
