Do you routinely analyze and challenge your own biases? Do you ever wonder if someone you disagree with might be right?

It's easy to call someone stupid while ignoring what they are saying. It's hard to charitably hear someone's argument. I'm certainly at fault there.

Either way I categorically reject the worldview where a "benign" paternalism protects us from ourselves.

That's nice. unfortunately the world as it is is categorically providing practical counterexamples to this.
