MENTAL LIQUIDITY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Mental liquidity is the ability to quickly abandon previous beliefs when the world changes or when you come across new information. However, mental liquidity is rare and can be hard to change as you get older. Morgan Housel, the author of Psychology of Money, lays out some anecdotes about how Albert Einstein himself even had a problem with mental liquidity. It’s important to be careful about what beliefs you let become a part of your identity and how most fields have theories, ideas, and hunches, but not laws - things that are unimpeachable and cannot ever change.
