        Tbh neither but telling public figures to stay in their lane is reductive. Better to foster a sense of encouragement to seek better perspectives imo.

          Telling public figures to stay in their lane is not reductive. It is a shorthand for recognizing limits of expertise and influence. Having a voice doesnt make one intelligent.

          Encouraging better perspectives is ideal, but it is not always effective when harm or misinformation is already happening. Clear boundaries sometimes need to come first before nuance can land.

          I also recognize freedom of speech, which means both person X and I are free to run our mouths.
