Honestly though, as frustrating as that attitude may be to deal with on an interpersonal level, and how it can lead to issues with regards to personal blind spots, it's much better to have to deal with that than to have an uncommitted wind sock of a person who changes their stance every time the wind blows and always shares the opinion of the last person to whisper in their ear.
Obviously if you want to take this approach and be successful it helps to be correct, which means you are taking on the burden of careful and rigorous study. And it's not like Fidel could never be moved in his opinions or convictions. His evolving stance on Religion is a good example of that.
Yeah, and he revised his opinion on homosexuality as well. Somewhere between recognizing the good parts and then discarding the bad in a continuous process of evolution or development where the good meets the bad. I wonder if any German philosophers have thought of this idea and then it was applied politically somewhere? :curious-marx:

Overall, I'd give Fidel a rating of "Based"/10.
