Speaking as a scientist, this is absolutely true. It's hard for me to change opinion. I generally need multiple repeated exposures do different instances of evidence. Some people are more firm in their ideas and this is a concept I try to keep in mind.
- LatteLazy 6y agoThe only trick I've found is to try not to have any opinion at all. I'd love to hear if anyone has a better idea, I hate the idea that people younger than me will just have to wait me out and politely tolerate my wrongness... I HAVE adjusted my options on a few matters (BLM, gun rights, bail requirements). And I'm quite proud of that! I think I have a bit of a fear of empathy which holds me back, but enough of my self diagnosis!
- netizen-9748 6y agoI'm glad to hear that! I think keeping the idea in mind that we could be wrong is important, and not just about small things but we may be wrong about anything. I think keeping an opinion is okay, as long as it remains flexible. But then again, that's just my opinion :)
