You would definitely hate me.
When faced with a new idea, I love assuming it is correct and try to see things from that perspective. It makes it very hard to believe almost anything. I also change my mind if too many people think the same thing, I will be contrarian for the sake of defending the position no one else wants to take up.
But now you are making me think I've wasted my life. I probably have. Yep. I am almost certainly worthless like you said. I agree.

Being able to understand the other side of some controversial topic, and even argue against your own position, is a sign of mental and emotional maturity. Switching your position to whatever argument you heard most recently is not.
- code4life 3y agoI learned once (on npr when i used to listen to it) that when you hear some new information, you should immediately think the opposite. This gives you the ability to not subconsciously weight the idea you heard higher than you should. After all, for every point in life a reasonable counter point exists. I've done this for many years and I do believe the practice has helped me not blindly believe things.
