The one with a scientific mind questions everything... including that what he thinks he knows. That's the way to move forward. You examine the facts. You examine what you already know in light of new events. You ask yourself "how do i know what I know?", "How did I reach that conclusion?", "What counterarguments could be made and how do I counter those?" etc
The one with a scientific mind examines the facts and doesn't simply believe things because A said them and doesn't automatically dismiss things because B said them.
A lot of things that are now common knowledge were once considered conspiracy theories. I now have euros in my pocket. Yet a few decades ago, the whole idea of a single european currency was considered a conspiracy theory.
A lot of things that are normal to us right now would be totally impossible to believe and imagine if you told or showed them to an individual living in the early 1900s. A lot of things that seem strange or unbelievable to us now, were common practice less than 50 years ago. Some things that are fine to show on TV today would have gotten a TV station in a lot of trouble if they had shown it 30 years ago.
Question everything... including official stories, alternative theories, your own methodology,...
