Assuming People's Best Effort

The hosts discuss the concept of assuming that people are doing the best they can with the tools they currently have. They explore the idea that people's actions and choices may not always align with our expectations, but it is important to approach them with empathy and the belief that they are trying their best. This perspective can help us avoid self-righteousness and judgment towards others and instead focus on providing support and equipping them with better tools to improve.
