I hate people telling me that I have to be open minded... basically what they're saying is the only reason I'm not buying their pseudo science is that I'm closed minded, and were I open minded I would agree with them.
That's a pretty arrogant assumption.
I'm never open minded. Not that I'm closed minded either. I just want to make sure there's real evidence to back up the claim.
Never really sure what is meant by this ‘open-minded rhetoric. It seems to be one of those weasel phrases that implies one is not as smart as one thinks one is!
We all know that one, or I certainly know that in the grand scheme of things as I am as thick as my grannies porridge. Maybe we just choose not to run down certain rabbit holes!
