....want to see, and hear what they want to hear. So, that begs the question - How are they ever persuaded of anything? Well, when you need to make someone see things from your point of view, you first need to find out what their point of view is. Then you have to convince them that, in supporting your idea, they are actually confirming their own.
Now where, you may wonder, does argument enter into any of this? It doesn't! Argument is only for people who actively want to grow further apart.
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
