NOTE

Prioritize Effective Communication Over Confrontation

Choosing not to engage in futile debates reflects a sensible approach to managing conflict and stress. However, there exists a tension between avoiding confrontation and the obligation to address issues of justice and responsibility. Instead of attempting to correct misinformation directly, a more constructive strategy is to enhance the communication of accurate information. In contexts like the CDC during the pandemic, the focus should have been on effectively conveying the benefits of vaccination and safety protocols rather than trying to convince opponents. Ultimately, it's more productive to provide clear and convincing information to those seeking it, rather than attempting to disprove the arguments of those entrenched in false beliefs.
