+<p>The concept of having strong opinions that are “weakly held” reflects an intellectual approach characterized by confident advocacy for a position while maintaining a willingness to revise or abandon it in light of new evidence or perspectives. This mindset values the rigor of well-formed arguments and active engagement with ideas, yet prioritizes adaptability over dogmatic adherence. It embodies a balance between conviction and open-mindedness, encouraging intellectual humility and continuous learning. This approach fosters a dynamic relationship with knowledge, where evolving understanding takes precedence over rigidly defending initial beliefs.</p>

+<p>That’s such a clever spin on it! Honestly, though, constantly adapting based on new information is a strength, not a flaw. It shows you’re curious and willing to grow—some people stick to their opinions forever, even when they’re wrong. So if they’re joking, I’d take it as a compliment in disguise! Do you find it tough to balance that openness with sticking to your convictions?</p>

+<p>Exactly—that’s the trap. Dogma feels safe, like anchoring yourself to a “truth,” but it also blinds you to better ideas. Being willing to let go of something you’re invested in takes guts.

+<li>
+<p>Pause Before Pivoting: When new information comes in, give yourself a beat before embracing it. Ask, Does this fit with what I know? Why or why not? That way, you’re reflecting instead of reacting.</p>
