“Considering how often throughout history even intelligent people have been proved to be wrong, it is amazing that there are still people who are convinced that the only reason anyone could possibly say something different from what they believe is stupidity or dishonesty.” – Thomas Sowell
We have been seeing a lot of this over the last few weeks. Even here on Ricochet. Ironically, some of those most willing to call out others as dishonest and stupid seem to be wrong themselves. (We heard plenty of that at the State of the Union, didn’t we? But I can name other examples.)
Let me borrow some advice from science fiction writer H. Beam Piper: “When somebody makes a statement you don’t understand, don’t tell him he’s crazy. Ask him what he means.” Similarly, don’t assume someone is stupid or dishonest because you disagree with what they say. Ask them what they mean.
