In fairness, for you to say those beliefs aren't valid now is equally conservative - things will change and maybe in the direction of their beliefs, in part because of what they do. That's how change happens - some people with a different vision persevere from being rejected to being accepted.

Nice food for thoughts.

So for exemple the diaspora that left Iran when the Shah left is probably still thinking of Iran as it was at the time.

And so on with every person that migrate, bringing the culture of a bygone era with us

Is it the past travelling in our present?

And all change is always for the better, is always progress, some even say..

Neural plasticity definitely matters.
