will never admit they were wrong
It was hard and still is very hard for me to come to terms with this on a number of different issues.
When I was young and more naive, unsophisticated, and autistic I believed that if I just made an argument clear and logical people would eventually accept it.
Nope. Humans don't work that way. Emotions, ego, identity, tribalism, etc etc all trump reason. Nearly all the time.
