Shifting our beliefs due to facts

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

- Albert Einstein

Would you consider yourself to be open minded? Let’s say you were presented with some information that completely conflicts with one of your beliefs. For example, if you were repeatedly told that we only use 10% of our brains, would you believe contradictory evidence to your belief? Science tells us we use much more than that. Or what if your political beliefs were contradicted by hard facts and data? Is that enough to change your mind?
