Why is your opinion the correct one?

Define "opinion". Define "correct". Define "wrong".

Also, unless the thread title is intended to be rhetorical, and this thread is meant less as an inquiry into an opinion, and more as a general inquiry into our epistemological method, you'll probably have to narrow your question down to one or two specific propositional instances of "opinion". How can I be sure I am right about...?

Because I live a pretty chill life, well fed without being overweight, I don't need meds to function.

Even if I'm wrong about something and realise it later. It triggers people so much, which is free entertainment.

I think my ideas are correct because I am autistic enough not to care about public opinion, and have read as many works of literature, history, and philosophy as I can (still going on that one), and if I find compelling evidence to show that I'm wrong about a subject I'll change my opinion.
My theory is that everyone thinks that they are correct, but the dangerous (or just annoying) people are the ones who know that they are right, and therefore want everyone else to agree with them.

Or just this; I think my ideas are correct because I am autistic .

Your choice.

Being well-read. If Carl Jung, Oswald Spengler, John Adams, David Hume, Marcus Aurelius, and Frank Herbert agree with me on what the foundations of civilizations socially require but Bill Kristol and Ben Shapiro question whether its really American to think that way or if its really a big issue worth discussing? I know I'm right.

Double checking your sources helps too, but why bother on Kiwifarms, right? Hip fire is sniper fire. That and we live in a country where ironic satanists are calling out neo-nazis for being melodramatic and offensive for siding with pure evil as a social statement.

This is excellent satire, I don't know how many Vox articles and videos I've watched which were entirely close-minded and at odds with their own sources. There was one article on Asian discrimination which relied entirely on one Asian woman being asked her opinion of Harvard admission of Asians and they completely ignored what she said and promoted a crazy interpretation of what she said. It was exactly this tone, and none of their graphs mattered to their argument. It was all just theater to convince the sub 100 IQs.

Every opinion is based on a flawed perception of the world, therefore no opinion can be true. The only thing that is true is the heart.
