I know this is intended as a shitpost, but it points to a very deep epistemological problem. By definition, everyone thinks any given opinion of theirs is right (if they didn’t, then that wouldn’t be their opinion). But of course not everyone can have all the right opinions all the time
I actually had that thought as I was posting this. I was mocking people who are arrogant about their beliefs and refuse to be proven wrong, but I was also thinking about this paradox that every person believes each of their opinions to be correct yet also knows they can’t all be correct

Isn’t the solution to that problem really simple though? Just value doubt.
