Yep. I think more people need to be able to say/think “actually I don’t know enough on this particular issue” and either choose to step back or to actively learn, ask good faith questions and actually start to have an understanding before they start to form opinions.
Nobody knows enough about everything to have an opinion and it’s actually okay not to have an opinion or to be curious before forming and sharing one!
