The science of opinion ...

@atdavid  Are you going through a loss of career or something similarly significant?

Since you started a thread on the '5 Stages' [Of Grief and Loss] should I be reading (deeper) into that?

I'm certain I do not have the technical abilities you have in specific areas...reversing this, you also do not have abilities in areas that I and most certainly others have. 

My suggestion is for far softer landings and less engagement. We will all benefit. I look forward to your reasoned and measured contributions.  Thank you.

Thanks, @teo_audio   I meant in the greater human historical universe...I'm guessing here, but there are likely to be some luminary examples and they may even have written about their transformations / shifts....

@teo_audio  Do we have any examples of reformed "dogmatic mindset negative proofing types" and their redemption stories? Likely not to help, given the 'type,' but may make for interesting reading....
