Quote by John Kenneth Galbraith
In the choice between changing one's mind and proving there's no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof.
Summary
This quote suggests that when faced with a decision, most people are more focused on justifying their existing beliefs rather than being open to changing their minds. Rather than critically examining their viewpoints or considering new perspectives, they engage in efforts to validate their opinions and convince themselves that they are right. This highlights the tendency to prioritize defending our egos and reinforcing our established beliefs rather than embracing intellectual growth and adaptability.
