You've said nothing at all could be done. Not a thing cause everyone just doesn't agree correctly with your take. And you are now dismissive and resigned to this idea of failure.

I know enough to know you don't get to be right just cause you want to be. And you can't speak for others just cause you think you know better. And if you keep this mentality and ideas nothing is gonna change. So you either want that or don't care if you are wrong so you get to keep feeling the way you do.

Either way it's your own issues to solve.

I'm not right because I want to be. It'd be nice if I were wrong! I've been actively seeking out open conversations focused on understanding opposing perspectives since before the Internet existed. The things I am certain of are few and far between, and this particular certainty was hard-earned over decades of exploration and introspection. It really just comes down to this. Do you believe that some things are true, as in not a matter of perspective? Do you believe those things can be understood?
