Not being the actual dumbest person in the room doesnt mean you are somehow done figuring stuff out. Treating this as a matter of binary sides overlooks the issue that there is no "reasonable default" to fall back on. Finding that position is the actual practical problem. Thats an iterative process of verification and reality truly doesnt care that you made out somebody dumber then yourself.
I said it in the other post, i find this to be an extremely difficult conversation. After all, how do you tell people in a constructive way to really consider their emotional maturity when it comes to this not at all being trivial problem.
Contrarians have this utterly weird propensity to demand the "official" or "mainstream" opinion be perfectly accurate, while holding absolutely no standards for the other side of the debate.
"Just asking questions", etc.
When it comes to the state, I believe the reason we require such broad free speech protections is precisely because perfection can never be attained, and the state holds an unfair advantage in force, and in law.
But it's just hyperbolic nonsense to consider nearly any private company, let alone one with such marginal reach as Twitter, as possessing such a monopoly on information that they have to be treated the same as the state.
And it's transparently ideological when I see someone demand perfection from non-state sources while championing alternatives with records far worse.
Literally a Strawman.
Leave the Strawman alone, you beat him up enough.
