Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    On the other hand, it can also be incredibly damaging to think that there is no such thing as an incorrect view, or that people don’t hold them.

      To be clear my point is basically all worldviews are at least a bit incorrect in varying amounts.

      Sometimes just via oversimplification, sometimes blinkered by their own experience, sometimes naive ignorance, sometimes just outright craziness or malice.

      The world is an overly complex place and humans aren’t really equipped to deal with the sheer amount of information required to come close to having any semblance of a “correct” world view

        Agreed. I wish it was easier to spread understanding once you have cultivated it yourself-- it’s hard work and it’s often underappreciated, even by people interested in learning about the world.
