The downfall of America will be our abject inability to respectfully disagree with one another. We've lost the capacity to say "You know...maybe I'm wrong about this."

How do we solve respectful disagreements? If both parties are willing to say they might be wrong, what source of truth can we go to to figure out who is right?

I think "rightness" is rarely a thing worth achieving (and arguably isn't actually possible in the majority of situations). Instead, I think the goal should be comfort in there being other viewpoints that can only exist in each person's unique experiences and worldview.

Here’s an example: Scientists tell us we should be worried about climate change and doing something about it. In this case, it matter who is right (If scientists are right, we don’t have a planet). It feels like that’s worth figuring out who’s right?

Right. A couple of things there... First, this is too binary ("worry = save the planet", "don't worry = planet destroyed"). Extremes rarely match reality...they just match our *fears* of reality (literally was talking about this with my therapist this morning).

The fact is there’s a LOT of gray area. Sure, some people disagree with the science on this (or just science in general) and to that I think our job is to simply love them as humans but understand we probably can’t change them.

But where this gets super gray is actually on the *response* to this information. Sure, scientists tell us climate change will cause major problems (and eventual destruction) but how to fix this is extremely debatable.

Second, just because one person cares about climate change doesn’t mean everyone should care about it. We all have limited capacity to meaningfully care about things (to the point where we can change them).

So while one person cares deeply and does something about it, just because another doesn’t do that doesn’t make them “wrong”…they likely care about something else deeply. Those things can/should coexist.

Let me sit with this for a bit, and really consider it, before I respond.

Not sure if you both have seen Obama’s speech at McCain’s funeral. You can tell that, even though they often disagreed (strongly), they both respected each other’s ultimate goal - to serve their country. “We never doubted we were on the same team”https://youtu.be/raDyWogvQ2Y
