people believe in things many times because thru observation of trials/events their brain made the connection of a certain outcome. they will not change their belief until this outcome is unproven the same or equal amount of times than the previous outcome or result.

I think, for you especially, that if you just start agreeing with that person then they will inevitably start to second guess their stand and ultimately change their views.sleeper;1622494 wrote:Do you believe it is possible to remove/change deeply held beliefs from an individual?

Most of you have seen/read my strategy on how to change the beliefs of an individual and I'm not sure my strategy is very effective. I'm looking for new ideas to improve my ability to persuade people into my line of thinking.
Thoughts? : thumbup:
