Fair-mindedness: Approaching all viewpoints without prejudice and with a willingness to consider them.

To be radically open-minded you must: a. Sincerely believe that you might not know the best possible path and recognize that your ability to deal well with “not knowing” is more important than whatever it is you do know.

Open-minded people approach everything with a deep-seated fear that they may be wrong.

Open-minded people can take in the thoughts of others without losing their ability to think well—they can hold two or more conflicting concepts in their mind and go back and forth between them to assess their relative merits.

Open-minded people genuinely believe they could be wrong; the questions that they ask are genuine.
