Emphasizes the importance of having a willingness to allow new observations and evidence to shape our view of the world and the nature of truth

Judgements can be formed quickly using emotion/instinct or more gradually using reflection and more observations

There is a time and place for both but if we are always relying on emotion/instinct we are more likely to believe misinformation

Stresses the importance of Active Open-minded Thinking (AOT)

People relying more on emotion are more likely to be monitoring their environment for interpersonal and physical threats. These people are more afraid of symbolic harm than situations that might lead to real harm
