The path to breaking dogma

Its difficult to change peoples minds on something. Especially when they build their whole identity around an idea or ideology.

Our approach to win an argument is to use facts. Because if you can gather more facts than the person across the isle then how can you not but change your mind?

But now facts are not as scarce, they’re not as hidden, it’s cheap to find now. It’s easier to find the answer to a question now more than ever.

So it further cements us deeper into our our belief system because of the scrutiny it is under. Many are just tired.

However, when we take the time to learn everything about a subject, oddly, humans have this tendency to let go. That’s how dogma breaks. Not by yelling. But by learning. It can’t be forced.
