that's not what an open mind is though. an open mind is one that is willing to question what is inside as much as it is willing to question what is outside.

a side effect of questioning what is inside leads to allowing some of what is outside in.

My favorite piece of media is Contact (book and movie).

Ellie is someone I would consider having an open mind. She dedicates her work, at great risk to her own career, finding signs of extraterrestrial life. Despite everyone telling her not to waste time and resources on it. But she does and she does it by collecting the evidence first, and when she got it, double and triple checked it before making the announcement.

Avi kind of does the opposite. He hypes his ideas up first, often taking credit for others' work, without sufficient evidence.

One of my other favorite piece of media is the intro of a Rick and Morty episode parodying the plot of contact. Highly recommended.

I think this is it.

Perfect and brutal.
