B"H

A Fallacy Commonly Heard Nowadays

This one goes like this: "If you're not open to any and all ideas,
you're cutting yourself off from truth."

That's like saying if you don't eat everthing that's put in front of
you, no matter in what quantity, without checking the nutritional
value, without checking that it is fresh, without checking that it is
perhaps poison, you won't be healthy. :-/

Should we be less discerning about what goes into our consciousness than we are about what goes into our body?
