If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
how do you change people who are assured they're right against evidence to the contrary outside of just like, planting seeds. my normal method is gardening but I'm looking for something that doesn't take someone vaguely resenting me for pushing back (very restrained) and then randomly popping back in years later saying "oh, turns out that was my bad" over and over and over and over and over
(this is rhetorical)
have you tried the other kind of gardening -- just leave and go do some stuff in a garden for a bit
i mean that's basically what i do except i don't have a yard to grow things in so it's other things. rental lyfe
I don't think anyone has solved that, or if they have, I've never heard of it
you can’t change people, they have to change themselves (a lesson i am still trying to learn and accept)
oh sure, I'm well aware of that. Just looking for better ways to nudge that along I suppose.
yeah, i guess i kinda ignored the point you were making 😅
i also wish it were easier to convince people of things, the line between disagreement and confrontation seems so thin.
how do you tell someone they’re wrong without telling them they’re wrong? and why is that sort of convolution necessary? and it seems like it is, even for things that are very straightforwardly true or false, because nobody likes being wrong
