Hugo Mercier : How can you change someone's mind?


Hugo Mercier at TED-Ed   (transcript)
How can you change someone's mind?
Summary
The answer to how you can change someone's mind seems to be just to talk to that person to find three elements that that person has: beliefs, trusted sources, and values first, not discussing first.

It's because people rely on axioms that everyone in the field already agreed on. It means that people really believe their three elements: beliefs, trusted sources, and values. We have to find them, it's very difficult, if not people don't listen to anything.  In other words, if you appeal to their three elements: beliefs, trusted sources, and values, they must listen to and change their mind.
