I change my mind on things carefully and deliberately, after ensuring I understand the reasoning well enough, specifically to avoid falling into reactionary traps - but I think this just looks like stubbornness from the outside?

@joepie91 I can't speak to how you're perceived, but I try to be that way as well. I also try to not overstate my certainty of an opinion, express when I'm unsure, and I try to not have opinions on things I don't know enough about or don't care to have an opinion on. I think this has worked pretty well for me.

@joepie91 maybe, but it makes you a smart person.

@joepie91 no it doesn’t.
