Yes, louder!

Someone elsewhere in this thread is suggesting that we're all obstinate and inherently resistant to change, but ... I can't relate.

The ability to learn from our missteps and prejudices, and subsequently change and grow, is a hallmark of being human. It's not about education, either. I've known people who only went through grade 3 who are not so destructively stubborn. It doesn't seem like any way to live to tear other people down because I encounter something new to me.

    No I didn’t? What? I was referring to people with bigoted beliefs and cited a real psychological phenomenon. Don’t lie about what I said for validation.

    The subject of your post was tangentially about correcting bigots so that’s what I’m talking about.
