2. Being right is overrated.

So true. Something I took a long time to learn. Everyone's perspective is different so be more empathetic to it and maybe you'll find you're not right after all.

But us logical people cannot resist fixing lack of logic. It's in our bones. By "logic" I mean that our arguments are based on an explicit line of reasoning that we can articulate. When people ignore logic and trust their own or someone else's vague intuition instead, us logical people get a mental rash.

For sure. I've come to the conclusion that most people are just too closed minded to hear anything that does not align with their side. It is a particularly good mindset to adapt right around election years.

Can't agree more!
