Very profound topic. I've often thought about an essay on it but had to back off, because flip flopping touches on a whole host of fundamental issues in the philosophy of mind. But I keep changing my mind about writing on it. Or what to stress. QED! All the philosophical fun resides in the vagueness zone, the tidal flats, the area where small influences can flip positions. The flip flop zone.
There's a lot to be said for "Strong opinions, lightly held."
I'd trust flip-floppers more if they explained *why* they changed their minds.
Otherwise, I suspect they have a hidden agenda.
I cannot pick a side for the life of me. As soon as I learn more I flip flop!
