Social consistency bias often prevents individuals from publicly changing their beliefs, even when private introspection leads to new insights. This bias can create discomfort among peers, as societal pressures favor unwavering adherence to past positions, denying the value of intellectual growth. Criticism frequently arises from those unable to understand that adapting one's perspective is a hallmark of intelligence, while rigid thinking is a mask for ignorance.
