Logic is not enough

Many people think that winning an argument means convincing the other person to change their mind. However, recent studies suggest that even if someone loses an argument, they may still hold onto their original beliefs. This is because individuals have emotional attachments to their ideas and may be influenced by confirmation bias. Logic alone is not always enough to change someone’s mind, as emotions also have a significant impact on shaping beliefs.
It is important to keep in mind that changing someone’s perspective takes time, patience, and empathy. Therefore, it is unlikely that a single argument will result in a complete change of beliefs. However, by having open-minded discussions and being willing to listen, a more productive and respectful dialogue can be achieved.
