Erik Benson writes, “Have you ever tried to explain to someone why you believe something that you believe? Probably not. Well, let me tell you how it generally goes. They listen, nod, and never EVER change their minds. Beliefs emerge, they aren’t passed down from a line of logic for the most part. Even clear as day proof can’t overcome beliefs that have emerged from a history of subtle proofs that have been instilled in us by our parents and culture.” (Found his weblog via Matt Webb.)
