Easiest way to NOT change someone's mind is to avoid interaction. Second easiest way is to insult, demean and ridicule. If you are trying to change someone's mind, do the opposite. #ChangingMinds

In psychology, fluency means that ideas similar to what we already align with are more easily assimilated. We actively resist ideas that run contrary to our existing beliefs. #CognitiveBias #CriticalThinking #ChangingMinds #OpenYourMind

Most people come to their beliefs unconsciously, so debating them on their beliefs is usually pointless. It is more effective to discuss how they arrived at their beliefs or why they have the beliefs not what the beliefs are. - paraphrased from @davidmcraney book, How Minds Change #CriticalThinking #ChangingMinds #belief #debate

People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they themselves have discovered then by those which have come into the mind of others. - Blaise Pascal.

You can't tell someone why they should change their mind, you must ask the right questions so that they tell you. #ChangingMinds #CognitiveBias
