    Sure, there are other interpretations. There’s also ignoring facts as they stand. That’s as harmful as anything else.

    Sometimes it’s not useful to hear certain opinions. I don’t care about the opinion that thinks the covid vaccine makes you magnetic, which they subsequently can’t verify. It’s not useful and most likely harmful. It makes my experience worse while providing nothing. If I can choose to not have that opinion heard, I will. It is not helping me get a better understanding of the world and is only making my experience worse.

        If it’s conducive to having a better understanding of reality probably.

        The “covid vaccine makes you magnetic” opinion that I used in the example does not. Their beliefs are based in fairy tales and they don’t care to question it, or if they do they somehow convince themselves that when it doesn’t agree with they’re beliefs that they’re somehow still right.
