On the Courage to Change Your Mind

Changing your mind is treated as weakness in a culture that rewards consistency of brand. But a mind that never changes is not a mind that is working; it is one that has stopped.

The difficulty is that changing your mind about something important can feel like betraying a former self. It is more honest to see it as honouring what you have since learned.

You are allowed to grow out of positions you once held loudly. That is not hypocrisy. It is evidence of thought.
