That guy on the bus who argued the earth is flat changed my mind on something else...

I was on the 47 bus in Cleveland last Tuesday and this middle aged guy in a Browns hat starts going off about how NASA faked the moon landing. I kept my mouth shut but he said something that stuck with me - "people only believe what they want to believe." Made me wonder if I'm doing the same thing with so-called verified bot accounts online. Has anyone else had a random stranger make you rethink how you judge people?

Random strangers say the wildest stuff sometimes. But that guy had a point even if he's wrong about the rest. I've caught myself writing off people online way too fast. Makes you wonder how many real conversations we miss because we're too busy judging.

Do you think that guy would say the same about his flat earth beliefs?

Nah, people usually believe what makes sense to them, not what they want.
