Imagine you would see a fact that contradict your deepest believes, the core of who you are. This fact is uncontestable, is evidence in its purest form, is something that happened and you know with 100% certainty that it happened. But this fact also is against what define you as a person, your most profound thoughts. Either political, religious , philosophical or moral believes, whatever sits deepetin you.
Do you think this evidence would make you change your mind, or not?


I would hope I could change my mind in light of overwhelming evidence, but likely I would rather make note of an alternative view and quietly reject it. Perhaps sitting with the evidence for a long time would make it more tenable to me.
