Why are most “open minded” people actually skeptics in their own right?
Many people consider themselves open minded because they believe something outside the “norm”. Being truly open minded only means being able to think about things from another perspective, not coming to quick conclusions and such. Also, people in general like to believe positive things about themselves, whether it be true or not, so as some people consider being open minded a positive attriubte they can be quick to believe they are open minded.
