Difference between a principled person and close-minded?
gpt
One could say that a principled person is one that has considered other viewpoints, rationally come to the conclusion that certain viewpoints are ethically sound, and then refuses to shift from them, while a close-minded person doesn't do step one. But more realistically, a principled person is someone you agree with, and a close-minded person someone you don't.
