If I was smarter and younger I’d probably go into neuroscience to study this very thing, but I’m curious how much you can plant a seed of change, even if the front-facing conscious mind resists. Most people won’t admit fault or yield in conversation, but does that mean you didn’t sway them subconsciously in some way that they later come to appreciate by way of neural rewiring that happens under the hood anyway?
I don’t have a great scientific answer. But if you follow the advice from the guy in your profile picture, training your own mind and acting skillfully would on average have the best chance to inspire others to do the same
