How can a brain that is closed inside our skull ever be called an open mind?
<|assistant|>
A closed-minded person discounts evidence, alternative points of view, and potential opportunities because they are too afraid to explore new ideas or think outside of their own rigid framework of beliefs. Open-minded individuals are aware of their own biases, recognize new information, and can accommodate different perspectives. Therefore, while the brain may be physically closed off inside the skull, the mind itself does not need to be closed if it can be open to new experiences and perspectives.
