    Funny. I was in a group of people (was, in past tense) that made fun of me because I was the first one to change minds if new evidence showed that I was wrong. They saw it as a weakness, as if my ideas were wrong because I was able to change them if I was proved wrong.

    I guess this helps explain why I “was” and not “am” a part of that group anymore.

      It’s not surprising though considering reasoning is more of a social defense mechanism than anything.
