Changing your mind after new information isn’t flip-flopping. It’s your brain doing its actual job.

Consistency is admired so heavily that people defend positions they stopped believing in, purely to avoid looking unsteady. Updating on new evidence is the whole point of thinking, and refusing to do it means your opinions get decided by whenever you happened to form them. People who mock a reversal are usually measuring loyalty rather than accuracy. You can be steady in character and mobile in conclusions.

Say out loud this week that you have changed your mind about something, and say what changed it. That second half is what separates a revision from a drift.
