Whilst it is indispensable that one should entertain many possibilities and walk down many avenues of thought, one should be guarded against redundancy, and most of these explorations should be done in Solitude. To entertain 'another's point of view' is dangerous where it involves this a priori concession: That there 'may be a possible Truth' to what the Other is saying. The affirmation of this 'Truth' is in fact indispensable to the Inquiry. A Truth of this nature may amount to little more than a construct. By 'considering' it, one affirms this Construct. This predisposes one to plant evidence for one's self; one paints the tree red to prove that it is red. If the Truth being sold is nothing more than a figment of the Imagination. Imagining it becomes indistinct from Believing it. An Open Mind is indistinct here from a gullible one; Consideration is indistinct from Belief.
