Interesting 😁 and U agree and have generally tried to live my life with an open mind and am always prepared to listen to different points if view. .. but I must admit that now there are some lines I no longer cross, and there have always been some I've never crossed πŸ€”πŸ˜œ

It's more fun and less stressful living with an open mind and heart... Just my personal opinion 😊

Look forward to the book 🀩

ABSOLUTELY! To be clear, "having an open mind" and "buying somebody else's bullshit" are not the same thing. Discernment is a key ingredient of any open mind that hopes to survive.

That said, I'm also deeply compelled to understand how people's minds and souls work, all the way up to and including "batshit-crazy" and "unspeakably evil". BUT THAT'S JUST ME!

Soooo true....

But it is interesting to listen to those who one may consider spouts only/ mostly garbage 😜 ... What's real and what's not are all matters of perspective.... So is truth, to a point....

But listening to the bullshit when it's spotted can still be interesting πŸ€” and even amusing at times... But personally I still listen ... Because even amongst the BS sometimes there's something to learn...

Just my thoughts 😁 at the moment πŸ€”β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜‰

I honestly think that everybody is a piece of the puzzle. We don't have to like all the pieces. But the fact that they exist is something we ignore at our peril.

That said -- in the immortal words of Alan Watts -- "Once you get the message, you hang up the phone."
