Michael Wolfe, a psychology professor at Grand Valley State University, shares fascinating insights into how we often forget our previous beliefs after changing them. He and Todd Williams discuss the concept of belief change blindness, revealing that our brains prioritize consistency, making us overlook our own intellectual evolution. This can skew our worldview and create an illusion that changing beliefs is rare. By embracing counterevidence, we can enrich our understanding, though we may only realize the transformation upon reflecting on past convictions.
