    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.

      Yeah, that sounds like projection on their part to me. We’re all constantly growing and changing, reaching a certain age doesn’t mean you have to stop learning, you just have to be willing to do so, and a lot of these people are very obviously not. But saying “I’m unwilling to learn” sounds bad so they’re obviously searching for excuses lol.

        They’re lying about my position for no discernible reason aside from poor comprehension. I’d recommend you read what I actually wrote.

      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.
