In both Brazilian and American contexts, describing someone as having an 'unreasonable mind' is generally critical. In Brazil, the informal expression 'cabeça fechada' (closed head) is frequently used in daily conversation to describe this trait, reflecting the cultural value placed on flexibility and dialogue. In the USA, this phrase is often used in academic, philosophical, or formal debate contexts to describe resistance to logical argumentation.
