----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- This quotation is different from the "change my mind" quotation, but the spirit is very close. >From Toye, John. Keynes on Population (Oxford: Oxford University Press). 208: Keynes, notes for a speech given to the Fabian Society on 2 February 1940 "I am a highly teachable person. I learn from criticism and before now have laid myself open to the reproof that my second thoughts are often better than my first thoughts -- which is an indication, some people think, of a dangerous instability of character." "Well it has happened again. I have played a low trick on my critics. I have improved my plan and have thus slipt out of their net."
