I used to think this too, but found it was mostly a manifestation of my intellectual cowardice, not a coherent position itself. An open-minded willingness to change one’s mind is admirable. But if you change your mind too often, you end up thinking less yourself - you’re outsourcing learning. It should get incrementally more difficult to change your mind the more you learn. Otherwise, you’re just collecting facts, not actually understanding anything. Besides, you don’t really hope you’re wrong, and it’s a bit arrogant to say so. Have you ascended above these petty emotions of the flesh? Being wrong is A Bad Thing, and “I believe I’m wrong” is an oxymoron. I think a better approach is “I’m always willing to change my mind, and hope I never have to.” I’m often wrong, about things of which I’m unaware, and I always pursue the opportunity to be less wrong. But it’s a worse title.
