Reply #50: An open mind doesn't mean accepting every theory [View All]

[shrike]

To me, having an open mind means that I have to be comfortable with the fact I may be wrong. Or that we all may be wrong. Look at the the field of science: Quantum Physics, String theory. There were a fair share of serious scientists prior to the computer age and some of their theories proved correct. Some of them ultimately didn't.

Hell, maybe we're all wrong. Maybe when we die we step over into another dimension, do it all over -- wouldn't that be a kick? Maybe we're energy that's programmed to exist in different realities, endless. Or maybe this is all a dream and when I wake up I'll be in a totally different world. Wouldn't that be nice? It would mean we wouldn't have Bush in office.
