Fixed ideas are ideas people have which are hard to change, often because most of the people around them share the same ideas. To be fighting fixed ideas is to try to change these ideas. Many people think that Christopher Columbus was fighting the fixed idea that the world was flat. Actually that is a fixed idea which is incorrect. Everyone knew the world was round and they also knew that it was so far from Spain to India (heading westwards) that you would run out of supplies before getting there.
So here I am fighting the fixed idea that Columbus was fighting an incorrect fixed idea, when the fixed idea he was fighting was in fact correct.
