No. It was actually a typo.

I meant to say "I stand corrected".

Picture a kid who just found out Santa Claus isn't real. One day he's living in a world where an magical fat guy can come down the chimney, then boom, no Santa. His whole world changes.

Next, boom, oh no, not the easter bunny too!

Then he finds out all those uncles who came to visit him mom in the night weren't really his uncles, and again he sees the world in a whole new way.

That capacity for sudden major change in how we see the world is the only real constant in reality. It's just that those changes become less common as we get older, and people begin to believe their current view is real and absolute because they've had it for so long.

I know why, its because rethinking the way you view the world is "hard" and people would rather argue their way is correct as opposed to all others.
