This is something that I have always found far more agreeable in conservatism than on the left - which is the constant struggle to find out what is true, and actually balance a variety of perspectives.
Most of the left continues to be influenced by the Hegelian dream of political utopia with no compromise.

50 years ago is.....50 years ago. The GOP has not adapted since 1980, and if not for hanging chads would be looking at their 7th consecutive general election loss. That sounds like extremely poor adaptability to me.
