    I think any idea is worth listening to, it’s the assertion that we must inherently accept their viewpoint as valid that is outright absurd.

      I felt this way until recently, when I’m becoming much more aware of how limited our collective attention is. Every honest belief probably deserves to have one (maybe 3) reasonable people listen to it. But they definitely aren’t all worth national/state/city/expert attention.
