From the beginning to where you are now, your philosophy may change. Younger to older, and gaining new experiences, learning what you didn’t know before – it makes sense.

If we didn’t have an open mind, it would not work.

But, we do. So we can adapt and grow.

Cognitive bias, is a real thing and the only thing you can do is be willing to listen and stay open-minded.

You don’t have to stay one way, or another. You can change.

You can (and should) explain what you know and how you came to believe certain things. Your experiences – shared with others – allow them to have a better understanding. They may come to accept your philosophy as their own, or you may adopt some of theirs. That is totally fine and actually rally good. (It would be worse if you just stayed the same.)
