What is an "independent mind"?

• waterheater 7y ago
  Some people view those texts as infallible sources of information. Other people view those texts not as sources of information at all but as lunacy. The reality is somewhere in the middle, but it's also a spectrum. Science verifies information. The issue with these texts is that it's very, very hard to verify anything being said. It's much easier to provide counterexamples to disprove it. By using the phrase "independent mind," I mean: it's worthwhile investigating these texts, but go in with a truth-seeking mentality, not a disproving mentality.
