One test of mental improvement is to ask how much you have changed your mind on in the past ten years. While there can be change without improvement there cannot be improvement without change. In which case, having changed your mind on fundamental topics can be an indicator that you’re not just letting your brain become a mildewed sponge. Old dogs, as it turns out, can learn new tricks, primarily because humans are not dogs and ideas are not tricks. Our declining mental function is largely our own doing – like muscle, our mental strength becomes lessened not simply, or even mostly, by age, but by disuse.
I've changed my mind in the last 10 years about pretty much everything, seemingly. Life is worth living. God exists. Catholicsm is true. And liberty isn't the only thing to consider in a political system.
