My Opinion Is Not (A) Right Notes

  • Interdependence : depending on others
  • limbic : emotional part of the brain
  • schema : framework/outline that helps organize and interpret info.
  • We have the right to have an opinion and not necessarily the right to opinions.
  • Political: entitled to any argument, even if it's groundless
  • Epistemic: only entitled if it contains evidence and sound arguments
  • people tend to claim the right to an opinion "just at the point in an argument when they would be forced to admit error."
  • opinions do not solve all arguments because the right to your opinion does not oblige others to agree with you. "People seem to think their opinions are somehow sacred, so that everyone must handle them with great care."
