Whenever I have trouble forming an opinion, I either don't form one or I try to learn more about whatever it is I'm supposed to have an opinion so I can have one I'm comfortable with. I try not to have very many opinions and the ones I do have I try to remain open minded about and reevaluate on occasion. Having rigid stances on subjects generally leads to ignorance and stupidity. At least in my opinion.

I think that's basically what I do. For example I don't really know where I stand on objectivism and I know that it doesn't matter. I've decided I'm not going to research it. My reasoning is that if I ever need to know about objectivism, it'll be because I'll have met an objectivist. And if I've met one I can ask a lot of questions and do my research then.

It's a great feeling, discovering a way to do even less.

I hope you never meet an objectivist (or anti-objectivist). It is a tedious thing to research since most people who have opinions on the concept have very strong ones.

Objectivism? You mean that philosophical school of thought that Ayn Rand founded?
