Leopards eating faces party indeed.

I think the one from your list that gives me the most trouble is "Facts never change anyone's minds because facts can be interpreted differently and dismissed for any reason." It's the dismissal of facts (and critical thinking) in modern society that has really created a new paradigm.

Well certainly confirmation bias is a big issue

the author also throws in a bunch of cool stats :)) like iirc 47% of people claiming that top 1 thing that could change their opinion is facts

but when the researchers tried changing opinions with facts it almost never worked

we like to *think* that our opinion is swayed by facts when in reality it happens rarely

Do you think it's possible that a person could learn to not dismiss facts?

all humans are prone to dismissing facts, read the book :)

you will see that you, too, dismiss facts for the reasons that the author outlines, especially when facts go against your beliefs

the author simply explains why it happens and how to overcome this
