As I wrote previously, I don't have an open mind. I very, very purposely prefer my mind to focus on evidence based information that I can trust and that comes from reliable organisations. I also read widely (at least 5 hours every day, sometimes through the entire night) to make sure I know what is happening in the world.

So when people come to me with a view that they have 'alternative' information, and it already conflicts with everything I know, I simply don't have time to listen to them. So I'm close minded, so be it.
