Hooray for Domino's CEO and Ex-Wolverine Dave Brandon!

Actually, as a scientist, I think there is quite a bit wrong with blindly waving off closed-mindedness as "Oh, that? Well, that's okay by me because I say so.". In fact, there are few problems plaguing human society currently that do not in one or several ways stem from the lack of powerful individuals' inability to systematically open their minds and notice their faults. The following provides one such suitable mechanism for ablating closed-mindedness: Actor A should... (1) Define his/her worldview. (2) Understand that--when taken literally--the mere term "worldview" (a) suggests that every human being has one, (b) requires that everyones' worldviews are unique (though unavoidably related). (3) Therefore--by way of applying a little logic--Actor A must recognize that competing worldviews exist. They really do. (4) Then, Actor A should recognize the high potential for a sub-population of competing world views to have been excellently constructed by smart individuals--individuals whose opinions deserve consideration, if not respect. (5) This ought acquire for Actor A an intellectual curiosity leading said actor to consider well the merits and flaws of competing worldviews. (6) And now, with the actor finally well understanding his worldview's position as a single world view (full of merits and flaws) swimming in a global soup of other world views (each with their own merits and flaws), the actor has the philosophical impetus to better define and deal with the flaws in their own world system. To spend a lifetime without traversing one's mind through a mechanism even slightly like this... Well, that is "intellectually dishonest", a title that is (unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective) far from mutually exclusive from other titles like "successful" "smart" "entrepreneur". It takes little effort to understand that while Tom Monaghan may be a successful and smart entrepreneur, he is concomitantly closed-minded. Whether you think I am this way or the other is immaterial here. But, since you asked: "Hell no!" my worldview isn't perfect. It's flawed as hell. But at least I am trying. For example, even while typing this, I've noticed an inherent bias in my thinking. Maybe you noticed it, too. I give way too much credit to "INTELLIGENT open-minded people". And, for instance, there is no reason I have to believe that an impoverished, mal-educated simpleton with the proper perspectives cannot have a far better understanding of the universe than last year's Nobel Laureates.
