'Everyone's Entitled to Their Opinion' is Killing Good Conversation

C

There's a difference between having an opinion and having a reasoning process.

"Everyone's entitled to their opinion" sounds fair. It sounds democratic. But it's actually collapsed the whole thing. It treats a half-formed gut feeling and a carefully examined claim as equivalent because they both live in someone's head.

The Truth Framework breaks this open. Not every opinion is the same type of truth:

Subjective Truth — "I prefer coffee to tea" — that's actually defensible
Partial Truth — "Social media destroyed attention spans" — true and incomplete (it destroyed tolerance for boredom, but didn't touch deep focus)
Manufactured Consensus — "Everyone knows the algorithm is rigged" — popular, but untested

The problem isn't that people have different opinions. It's that we've stopped asking: Is this actually your thinking, or did you inherit it?
