[META] I believe the desire to have a view changed often reflects a desire to revert to the mainstream and is therefore close-minded and anti-intellectual. CMV

A lot of the posts in CMV seem to begin with a view that rests outside conventional thought. While discussions of these are interesting, I believe that the fact that they are posted in the first place represents a fear of one's unorthodox ideas and that subsequent efforts to 'correct' these positions only serve to reinforce this fear. I'm not saying that all views are equally valid or correct, only that I feel that people wanting their views changed simply because they're uncomfortable holding views that others don't agree with underpins much of this subreddit and that this sort of attitude is not necessarily a good thing. I do find CMV really interesting but this still bothers me. I understand that this post is a bit ironic.

But the alternative--not wanting to have your view changed--is also close-minded, is it not?

Perhaps people post their views here because they want to know if there's any critical evidence that they've overlooked, or simply want to get a "second opinion", as it were, towards their view.

I think very few people who post here literally want their view changed--rather, they want to see what the, as you admitted, interesting discussion that would follow is.
