Why Facts Don't Win Arguments and What Really Changes Minds
Think back to the last heated debate you had-maybe about politics, vaccines, or even which superhero franchise is superior. You probably walked away frustrated, convinced the other person was either stubborn or stupid. Here's the uncomfortable truth: they likely felt exactly the same about you. We've all been taught that rational people change their minds when presented with better evidence. Yet in our increasingly polarized world, facts seem to bounce off people like rubber bullets. This isn't because we're broken-it's because we've fundamentally misunderstood how minds actually work. Consider Charlie Veitch, a charismatic British conspiracy theorist who built his identity around believing 9/11 was an inside job. When a BBC film crew took him to meet structural engineers and grieving families, something unexpected happened. The evidence shattered his certainty. He publicly renounced his conspiracy beliefs-and his entire community turned on him viciously, calling him a government plant and threatening his family. The same evidence that changed Charlie's mind didn't budge anyone else. Why? Because changing your mind isn't really about evidence at all. Your experience of reality feels direct and unfiltered, but it's actually a sophisticated hallucination your brain constructs moment by moment. This became spectacularly obvious in 2015 when "The Dress" broke the internet-some people saw it as blue and black, others as white and gold, and neither group could comprehend how anyone could see it differently.
