I argued with a #FlatEarth believer, dismantled everything they said with logic and evidence. They did not admit they were wrong.

I argued with a friend who believes in the official 9/11 story, dismantled everything they said with logic and evidence. They too, did not admit they were wrong.

+2 to the people who say arguing is a waste of time.

I like to think I’m planting seeds of doubt though, and eventually they’ll come around.

@taoeffect I worked at FEMA in the aftermath of 911 by the way, I helped with the investigation.

But more to your point, yes, you are probably sowing seeds of doubt, at least in some people. I often find if people change their mind it is often days or even weeks or months after a conversation. For me every time ive ever changed my mind on anything it was with atleast some delay, even if it was just minutes.. .particularly if it was something i had already established in my mind.
