Is your brain falling out?

I firmly believe the adage “you can be so open-minded your brain falls out.” The more open-minded you are, the more you risk becoming gullible and wishy-washy. You believe whoever is whispering in your ear at any given time. And someone, somewhere on any side of an argument can make a strong case for their views. But then in your open-mindedness, you listen to other people and change your mind again. On and on like a vicious cycle your views drift with the wind.

Others are open-minded to the latest fad ideas (or who’s screaming the loudest). They want to be cool and trendy and aren’t interested in thoroughly researching the topic. At that point, the once open-minded drift into the dreaded close-minded crowd. They refuse to consider anything that disagrees with the trendy ideas they’ve latched onto. But also a lot of archaic ideas are still around thanks to closed-minded people.
