39. "by what they expose themselves to"

Yeah.

I've toyed with the idea, upon being accused of being "closed minded" when I have simply reached a conclusion on the basis of evidence contradicting what someone is selling me, of suddenly having an epiphany and deciding to believe everything.

"Why, yes, maybe you're right. I see it now. I've been closed minded. From now on I will believe everything. In fact, I'm not stopping at what you are telling me - I believe everyone! And I believe in the gods. Not just one god. I believe in ALL the gods! I've decided to become completely open minded!"

Nobody can out-open-mind me!
