I've written elsewhere about changing my mind. It can be equal parts exhilarating, disorienting, and destabilizing. Whether you're "deconstructing" the fundamentalist religion of your upbringing, or walking away from the "cult" of "wokeness", shedding beliefs that limit your ability to apprehend truth almost inevitably entails a patchwork of emotions.

It's hard not to feel profound resentment.
