What are the disadvantages of being open minded?

@Sicarium Lol yeah... that is when genius begins?🤣

@SW-User Lol, nah, pretty sure that's insanity. At least that's what I'm hanging my hat on.

@Sicarium But isn't insanity always a part of genius?

@SW-User Gawd I hope so, lol.

Seriously though, think "insanity" gets percieved as anything outside whatever normal bounds. On the positive end, so to speak, you get people who do great things when they're outside those normal bounds. Einstein is a good example. He sucked at math, but he could literally visualize the universe he was trying to describe. All of his math came from that visualization. And his peers thought he was a raving lunatic until general relativity was proven right (or mostly right).

@Sicarium It's Platos Cave. Anything we don't understand, is labeled as bad or insane.
But not all insane is bad...or wrong. Some are just visions the rest cannot comprehend.

@SW-User A fellow Platonist???? 😁

@sarabee1995 I think his theory is the basis of how we see things. 😁

@SW-User 👍️
