Changing Our Minds: Why we should admit when we're wrong
TED Radio Hour
Differentiating Between Flip-flopping and Rethinking
Flip-flopping refers to changing one's mind for convenience or to please others without genuine reconsideration, akin to the behavior of politicians who say what audiences want to hear. This is contrasted with rethinking, which involves genuinely reconsidering one's views. The speaker expresses frustration with the prevalence of thinking like preachers, prosecutors, and politicians, where one either defends their own views (preacher mode) or attacks others' views (prosecutor mode), highlighting the importance of moving towards genuine reflection and reevaluation.
