If faced with critical thinking, people tend to disregard what you’re trying to say and push back to their outlook.
Humans are more influenced by emotions than logic, which means that critical thinking alone may not convince them. Only those who are receptive to logical reasoning can be persuaded that way.
People don’t like being wrong.
Being wrong has long been viewed as a form of weakness.
I’m weak several times a day.
Your title is un-self critical and condescending, so your conversations probably aren’t terribly productive in either direction.
That turn of phrase has never been used by someone conversing in good faith and with an open mind.
