    If someone's wrong, should you respect their views or correct them? I don't mean a matter of values (abortion, guns) but a claim that flies in the face of evidence, such as trade deficits are inherently bad for the economy. They're not. But if you "feel" they are, is that valid?

        I suppose you could make the argument that maybe people having more buying power than less is "bad" for the economy. (devil's advocate here)

        But in many circumstances higher trade deficits indicate people have more buying power than if those trade deficits went away. The imported goods are cheaper, so people are choosing to buy them, leaving them more money to buy other stuff, save, invest, whatever.

        I understand that. I'm joking ... as in, maybe ppl being able to buy things is bad because of materialism or whatever. Only way I can make it work.

        How about respect for them then seek to correct them. Even when the correction is ignored, recognize your correction might be the first of many that will be required to bring them around. That is if the goal is truly to get them to a place of correction vice just stating facts.

        Be polite, absolutely. Human beings deserve basic respect by virtue of personhood. I meant my question in reference to the loud, repeated call over the last two years to respect the position of others (even if it's incorrect) to avoid elitism.

        Correcting someone's error isn't elitism, it's one of the manifestations of conversation.

        Respect *people*, correct harmful falsehoods. It's possible to be charitable to people w/ false beliefs. Recall that most people aren't raised to value truth as much as others are. But try to teach people that false beliefs can hurt or kill.

        And consider the possibility that values can be both incorrect and harmful. When that’s the case, it can be good to try to correct those too.

        More effective to ask why they hold the views.

        Feelings aren’t the same as facts. Feelings are subjective; facts are objective.

        I respect sometimes right to hold whatever votes they want, but the beliefs themselves are not owed any respect.
