Tangential:

"The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, & breeds reptiles of the mind."

-- William Blake

My older brother marries his opinions.

A simple example: He claims that SNL sucks because it's not as good as the original cast.

The writers and cast have changed a bazillion times over the years, and he just keeps repeating this. He hasn't even watched SNL in over a decade.

It's lazy, autopilot thinking.

It's the same thinking as when people never get over their racism and other prejudices.
