❍ About The Well ❍
Do we inhabit a multiverse? Do we have free will? What is love? Is evolution directional? There are no simple answers to life’s biggest questions, and that’s why they’re the questions occupying the world’s brightest minds.
So what do they think?
How is the power of science advancing understanding? How are philosophers and theologians tackling these fascinating questions?
Let’s dive into The Well.

I'd like to pose a viewpoint. Perhaps we're not necessarily choosing what we decide to consider, but rather we're listening for words we connect with. Sort of a slow-motion game of connect the dots, as we go through life.
Words are in fact doorways into various worlds of thought. Maybe what's happening in the individual is we look for words that bridge gaps. So instead of "I reject those words/ideas", maybe it's more of an "I can't make that leap with my current understanding".
If this were the case, it would imply that people aren't necessarily ignoring facts, but rather that we can't find the dots to connect in order to wind up with a coherent picture. My guess is that most people care about having a coherent picture in one's mind, maybe that's presumptuous.
(I'm thinking out loud, here. I haven't had this thought before. I wouldn't call it an opinion, just a proposition.)

Well I disagree. I win all my arguments with facts and logic and no amount of facts and logic will convince me otherwise!
But seriously, when I realized that around a decade ago when I was 18 every instance of lack of consistency in people around me (and myself included) became so much clearer. One way to help with that is to abandon one's ego, but one can never do that entirely because we're hardwired to identify with our ideas. Through ideas we also identify with certain groups and feel safe.

If information disregards my needs and concerns, then why one should value such facts?

Ironically, it was very hard for me to listen to her, and I didn't want to believe what I was hearing. Lol

Animals also have emotions to a certain extent so I think consciousness or intelligence is what makes us human. And if we are thinking that through emotions we can win a fight, we might but it would primitive. We should consider facts more, because animals can't gather facts, we humans can do. Arguments based on facts would be more healthy.

This argument exists also for scientists.. they have data.. but interpretation makes the difference

So then, how does one persuade others to change their minds? That important part is missing here.

Climate change is not the best example because if you dig deeper into that subject and the science, you find that it is actually not something on which scientists agree, despite the overwhelmingly onesidedness that we hear on the news, and from politicians. So if you want to talk about facts, then one mayor fact that is ignored at a tremendous scale, is that there is still a lot that we don’t know about climate change. This makes it very difficult to predict, and to know the most important causes.
It is obvious we need to change the way we treat our environment, the earth, but that is just common sense. Maybe that is the reason why there is so much bias and a worldwide campaign about the supposed (but yet debated) causes of climate change, even in this very video about biases. However, taking assumptions about climate change as absolute facts, while ignoring facts that may tell a different story, could very well (and will probably) lead to making quite a few wrong and harmful decisions on how to deal with it. So it is definitely not without danger to ignore actual facts on this huge subject, but also the uncertainties and holes in our knowledge, even if they don’t tell us the story we want to hear, or give us the certainty we wish for.

“Facts don’t win fights”
First of all, seeing an exchange of ideas as a fight, shows that the ego is heavily involved. The ego attaches emotionally to ideas (and beliefs), so we are not discussing an idea, but instead we are protecting an idea or belief as if our lives depend on it, and ‘defeat’ is not an option. At that stage, it becomes almost impossible to actually discuss and exchange ideas and facts, which is what this video is about. However, it does not have to be that way.
It is not a ‘fight’, and you are not the idea you have emotionally attached to. The only thing you will want in a real, civilized, and mature discussion, is to find the truth about something. Even when the other person(s) in that discussion does not seek truth, you may still find some in their answers. Those who are not listening to find truth, are listening to find faults as a means to defend their beliefs, so there is no real exchange of ideas. In their minds, there is only the fight for the survival of ideas they are attached to. You can let that get to you, or not. The choice is yours if you are conscious and aware enough.

If you’re already devolved from a lively exchange of ideas to seek mutual development and clarification, into a contrarian discussion, into an argument, into a debate, and into, or perhaps skipping straight into, a fight… then there’s no winning left for anyone in anyway.
