@diomuarr Yeah, I used to watch political arguments on Facebook back in the day. And that's when I realized no one has ever changed anyone's mind on social media ever. Not once.

@DumbArkie it’s just digital WWE loud, dramatic, and absolutely scripted for ego, not enlightenment

@diomuarr Pain and pleasure change the opinions (minds) of people who have been taught "feeling" is the only thing that matters. Carrot or stick. Ignorance may be bliss, but it's meant to be painful when it meets reality.

@diomuarr Ha. Yea, pointless. Ignoring them will eventually do it though. But then you won’t care anymore 🙌🏻

@MohammedJunaidG step 1: accept they don’t want the truth just validation. step 2: log off and touch grass

@diomuarr I hear you. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch. It's so much easier to make a fool of someone than for them to admit they've been made a fool. And in a cult, stubbornness is a virtue.

@diomuarr People do not change their minds after arguments you actually entrench their current belief

@diomuarr @michaelpbreton Emotional arguments are what work, and are what are meant to work on human minds. (…as my book Expressly Human explains.)

@diomuarr I still have that and then I regret it because I am reminded that talking to some people is like talking to a brick wall
