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?

    If it’s presented coherently and I can clearly map it against my own preconceived notions, yes.

    If it’s a bunch of sloppy catchphrases that would require me to do a bunch of work and research to unpack their argument and THEN apply it to my world, no.
