I think that dealing with the willfully ignorant is extremely difficult. Cobb's recommendation to present facts and then ask guided questions is the best option for combatting such ignorance. In this way, people do not get as defensive and close their minds to the information that you are presenting.]]> 2020-10-29 16:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873795169 https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873797498 I liked how he talked about asking questions instead of shooting down someone else's opinions or ideas.]]> 2020-10-29 16:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873797498 The answer I most enjoyed from Jelani Cobb was the one where he stated how we may not even agree on our facts when we see only what we want to see. e.g. the flat earthers example. I also liked Cobb's answer about what it means to defund law enforcement. https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873798963 2020-10-29 16:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873798963 https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873800605 I think Paige's question about forgiveness and whether we should condemn the founding government was very interesting and unique]]> 2020-10-29 16:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873800605 https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873803753 I really liked his comparison to engaging with flat-earthers when answering the question about the ignorant.]]> 2020-10-29 16:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873803753 https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873805863 I liked his answer about how people should think about how others came up to that conclusion instead of trying to change their mind from the start + importance of asking questions]]> 2020-10-29 16:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873805863 https://padlet.com/christian_ryan99/4hqtlzjm6zcxpgd1/wish/873818043 I think the idea of asking questions is super helpful when having conversations as a young person, considering none of us are experts and have a lot of room for growth and education.
