He says Liberals are more open to new ideas and people.
I disagree.
Both Liberals and Conservatives can be open to new ideas and people.
The difference comes when those ideas and people turn out to be destructive, Conservatives will say "Enough!" while Liberals will remain "open" and deny the problems or blame it on conservatives not being "open" enough.

Watch the video!

He is a liberal how eventually converted. Try to listen to the whole thing without rushing to judgement. You’ll thank me, I promise.

Yep that’s right.

In my research I go into areas that are so obscure no one’s really published anything on it. I am pretty addicted to finding new areas of knowledge and new experiences in that sense.

I just don’t think that such new knowledge should be allowed to override common sense. And that’s where I part company with liberals.

If it ever occurred to me (and it wouldn’t) that two men could get married, I would first ask myself how people have dealt with it for the ca. 5000 years that we’ve been on earth. And when I discovered that it was a fringe practice that tended to bubble up in the decadent phases of civilization, I would conclude there was something innately problematic about it that prevented its wider spread.

Liberals just don’t think this way. They have a sense of arrogance that “Well, those people in the past were just dumb! We can correct their mistake!”

And then they go ahead and make those mistakes. Over and over.

So I do disagree with the author in this sense. A healthy mind needs to balance stability and change, but they have to relate to each other correctly. You must be open to change where change is *necessary*—like if the rainfall pattern shifts in your area and you have to develop new methods of farming or herding or whatever. But otherwise, who are you to think that the basic principles of life can be toyed with at will?
