..."accepted correction"? What is this, some perverse elementary school?
I've noticed that whenever my friends talk about certain matters, it sounds like they've turned their brains off. They read some book by a self proclaimed expert, and just accept it on face value. And then they talk about how excited they are to be "learning" and "receiving instruction".
If that's what you mean by "accepting correction", it's far closer to "accepting indoctrination". We're all children at school again, we have no capability to reason, and must be taught with rote memorization.

- bjt2n3904 6y agoI absolutely did, based on personal experiences, and assumptions (which I tried to highlight!) But I'm not trying to make a logical argument, I'm trying to make a rational one. My assumption could be wrong, this could be an ESOL situation, and just a strange way of phrasing what was actually intended, and I'm happy to revisit if my assumptions were wrong. But no, my opinions have not changed. If anything, they've been reenforced.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoAccepted correction meaning 'realised you were wrong and changed your behaviours/beliefs based on information/instruction you've received'. You make it sound like you believe you're infallible and the only people who change their minds are the weak willed lead astray by Facebook nonsense.
