I'm beginning to realise (at a deeper level) that being a "citizen of the world" is not for everyone, at a fundamental level.

That seems pretty ass backwards. Flaws in inductive reasoning make it almost a given that people will do this in practice.

Yes but in this case it was openness to doing this rather than doing it by mistake. Thinking its OK to do this.

Ah, yeah that's different, and still a really bizarre definition of dogmatism. It's not even similar to its normal definition.

No, I was quite proud on behalf of atheists.More likely to admit uncertainty of knowledge but less likely to find different views convincing

Which is a weird thing to valorise. If the counterview is convincing, change your existing view. Don't believe both of them at once.

When most people hear a new proposition, if they can't immediately think of a contradictory belief, they'll believe the new proposition.

Here it was testing ideas contrary to your own.

Yes. I saw this. I thought of it as biased narrative feeding.

Yeah. I think the difference is that sceptical types will worry at contradictions until resolved or say 'We don't know'

Whereas religious people might be more inclined to live with contradiction & accept both as true.

I agree though. I'm not a citizen of the world.
