    There is no difference.

    Aren’t they opposites?

    Joseph! I am not gullible (or open minded) enough to believe that statement.

    If you are very open minded,all your brains fall out.

    How are open-minded and gullible opposites?

    Gullible means believing whatever people tell you, or not being able to think for yourself. I think that’s exactly the opposite of open-mindedness.

    The opposite of believing everything that people tell you is not believing anything that people tell you. The true difference between gullibility and open mindedness is that, as you say, a gullible person believes everything anybody tells them. An open minded person is prepared to believe what anyone tells him but needs to evaluate every statement himself.

    If a brain is too closed it’ll suffocate.

    And what Redleg said.
