From Greg

Changing your mind gets framed as weakness or flip-flopping when it should be celebrated as learning. Admitting you were wrong becomes this huge thing instead of just being part of the process of understanding the world better. But being wrong is information – it tells you something about reality you didn’t know before, and the people I respect most are the ones who can say “I thought X, but I was wrong, here’s what changed my mind” without making it a whole thing.

Wholeheartedly agree.

My oldest daughter (15) recently told me that she was surprised how often her friends are unwilling to change their minds when given new information. It surprised her because she’s watched me change my mind real time during a discussion with her.

We should normalize changing your mind the the face of new information.
