    You can’t rationally argue someone out of a position that they didn’t rationally enter in the first place.

      When somebody says “You’re wrong, watch this hour long video by a youtuber to find out why”, have you ever watched the videos they linked?

        Yes! But I’m definitely an oddball. I also read the terms of serving refuse to use services that have terms I disagree with.

          Well here’s a video I didn’t watch about why you’re wrong.

          Edit: whoever downvoted this clearly didn’t watch the video or they would agree with everything I think.

            I happen to have seen that one before. It’s very layered … like an onion.

      Of course you can. It just takes patience.

      It’s literally what psychologists do for a living
