We where train from childhood to be gullible . It is easier to be lull by myth than to face facts

What are facts and why would facts be able to change someone's mind? We all experience the same world, but what we get out of that experience varies for each of us. What one person takes to be the case another might not even notice, or may even deny.
Point of view affects how we interpret what we experience. Our point of view is based on our value system, what and how we value based on we have seen and and what we have learnt. There is no objective fact outside or an interpretation, in the broadest sense.

We all wear our colored glasses. Tinted by the life you (have) live🍸.

There's an odd thing called the backfire effect.

Sorry Duke, the link doesn't work.

@Gert Sorry about that! I'll see if I can find one that does and replace this.

@Gert Try it now. I replaced the link with one that does work for me.
