What comes first, love or an open mind?

[Passerby2]

*I'm not saying an open mind is a good thing, I think it's too often caused by mental illness, and an open door is good but if it's left open to anything and everything you don't even have a door, that said, taking psychedelics the first thing people experience is an opening of the mind often called love.

Love

Open mind

same thing

Damn, who fucked you up so much you think being open-minded is a mental illness?

[Passerby2]

normal life requires the exact opposite of an open mind

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Normal for who?

[Passerby2]

i can't go into the neuroscience and psychology rn.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You need a therapist. Or a divorce

[Passerby2]

lol. right so you are so open minded you weren't even asking for sources

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Because I’m not going to buy into the MAGA propaganda that says empathy is a problem

[Passerby2]

see? you set yourself up as "open minded" and ironically that makes you the least open minded person because you label someone else "close minded", that's your justification. as if someone who's actually open minded wouldn't learn from someone who was close minded.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You’re not teaching me anything other than “your way of thinking is wrong” and not really explaining why. There’s no reason to believe you

[Passerby2]

right so you dot have an open mind. someone with an open mind believes everything theyre told without a reason like a child does, like santa is flying on reindeer coming to bring you presents.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Dude no… being open-minded means allowing other viewpoints to enhance your own, even if it doesn’t change your mind. It’s a willingness to learn.

[Passerby2]

so what do you call it when a kid believes everything he's told

[Anonymous]

Neither lol, but my perspective will take a while to explain.
