Fact fiction opinion

Fact fiction opinion

This morning I was watching a few short videos and read a number of posts just trying to get a sense of what was being presented as truth. As was normal, most of the posts and videos were opinions presented as fact or truth. Those posts and videos that referred to actual facts were minimal. But as I said this is now normal, from my personal experience from the last year or two.

Personal opinion expressed as fact seems to have become the norm. Why? Is it because it is easy? Please understand many of the posts and videos I reviewed were by rather intelligent people. (Some not so much, (personal opinion)). Again, there is nothing wrong with posting an opinion. Saying that I prefer one item over another or one policy over another is acceptable. But are we not requiring facts in order to say one is right and the other wrong?

I expect that it is possible I am reading too much into things these days. I expect we could debate the very concept of facts, as I am coming to believe that this idea is also becoming fluid. Are we becoming scared to have actual honest debates? A discussion where we are looking for the most correct conclusion? A conversation where being wrong is acceptable?

We appeared to be scared of so much these days. And while yes this is most definitely my opinion it is based on observation. If your observation is different than my own, this is an excellent time and place to express that.

For those reviewing this for facts you will have noticed that I did not cite any of the posts or videos I reviewed, nor did I link anything. So, you are in fact very correct, this is not a fact post, it is simply my opinion.

Blessings.
