To be closed minded is to not consider. To be un moved or unmotivated in thought till the 'tide' of the culture turns..
Most closed minded people think it's about being moved at all. As in if the evidence Demands All Believe "X". I would believe 'x' even though the pop belief is currently "Y". It's not about being able to follow th crowd's beliefs.
It is about having an open mind is to consider the alternative before evidence demands it. It is the ablity to adopt the life philosophy that even if the world works on nothing but absolutes, you are not privy to most of them. Therefore you are ready at a moments notice ready to challenge even your strongest beliefs, based on the truth you can find or identify.
Most of you if you were honest, you would admit you do not even know where to begin to challenge your foundational truths, without destroying yourselves in the process. As you are all super-ego and ID, no ego.
