I change my mind. What do you do?
Apr 19, 2022
The increasing propensity for people to refuse to change their minds, even when faced with irrefutable evidence, is baffling to me. I don’t like being wrong — no one really does — but being wrong means that I’m now less wrong than I was before.
More importantly, as I’ve shared before, most of the smartest people are those that frequently change their minds. Being open to new ideas is a wonderful trait.
A quote from J.M. Keynes is what inspired this post. He said it well with:
“When somebody persuades me that I am wrong, I change my mind. What do you do?”
