What does it mean to be open minded?

Post by _Flat Lander »

I think generally in our society being "open minded" is considered a positive attribute or personality trait. I'm interested in hearing what folks think it means to be open minded.

It probably means one is agnostic. :lol:

Willing to at least consider all points of view. Like common sense, it's quite uncommon.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

@Fence Sitter ... Does sitting on the fence give one the ability to be open minded? Or just the illusion?

It allows one to be open minded about an
illusion.

Pretty sure at MD&D they would say an open mind was the end result of trepanning.
