Arriving at the truth is partly through argument, discussion, the attempts at dispelling misconceptions, but ultimately hinges on the individual choosing to align with the truth.
We cannot constrain anyone who is unwilling to follow the new direction of a question; we can only extend the field of vision of the asker, loosen his prejudices, guide his gaze in a new direction: but all this can be achieved only with his consent. (Friedrich Waismann, 1968)
I note that no matter how many letters people attach to their names, most people cannot reason probably. They have obviously forgotten their essays that they wrote; or the debates they had.
I wanted to complain to the NSW Anti-Discrimination over a dental clinic imposing a vax paper or neg test as a condition of service. A staff I spoke to say I have to justify why it is discriminatory! Yet I did not impose that rule. It is for the clinic to prove it is lawful; not for me to prove otherwise. How come she, they, did not apply the standard of proof to govts, "experts" and vax pimps?!!
Reasoning is racist and bigoted!
