Why are we most all socially dumb?
You ever notice that arguments rarely end with either person changing their mind?
So why are we all so dumb that we ever bother arguing?
Like if person A says: ABORTION IS WRONG!!!
Why doesn't person B just say: You have your opinion, I have mine. Let's get back to playing Mario Party now.
I find it more depends on the argument (subject matter) and the way it’s presented. Like abortion, i 100% believe it’s a woman’s right to choose what she wants to do with her body and nothing and no one will ever change my mind on that. But the true art of changing people’s minds, I find, takes more than a single argument. It takes being around a person or people who think that way for an extended period of time and you get to see why they think the way they think, it’s weird, so long as the people youre with aren’t completely delusional, it rubs off on you. I don’t think anyone has ever changed my mind on a topic based on 1 argument, but over time, they’ve made me think differently about certain controversial topics in America. Like I’ll see certain things and think about them differently, I’ll see it through a different lens.
