Conversations with Peter Boghossian

CHAPTER

The Difficulty of Changing Beliefs

In this chapter, they discuss the difficulty of changing beliefs and the importance of free speech. They recall an experience in the park where they encountered someone who strongly asserted that gender affirming care is healthcare and trans women are women. They mention the concept of thought terminating cliches and the influence of ideology on one's beliefs. They also discuss how refusing to engage in conversation allows the ideology to persist without contradiction.
