How does one deal with a person who persists in an irrational belief, despite all evidence to the contrary? SEE BELOW

And then you just have to stand there and watch in awe as the universe slowly reorders itself such that said irrational belief becomes undeniable truth. Spooky.

I guess I phrased this badly. The point I was tying to make is that what I saw as an "irrational" belief, seems to be turning out to be, in fact, true. It's my perception of the so-called "evidence" and the universe and how it works that was wrong -- and is changing.

The person in question just may have been more correct in their belief all along than I imagined... time will tell.

Mind conditioning, we are told things that are seen as undisputable truth have no hard proof of anything our learned betters insist we believe in it.

Quiet irrational.

People talk to an invisable man in the sky they have never met, yet call a flat earther a fool. When the fool can prove it's flat but the ball fixated plebs won't listen or rationalise or even realise that they can't be spinning around at 6,666 mph (see they're lil joke wiv the 666).

DO YOU FEEL YOUR SPINNING AT THAT SPEED?

You don't, nor should you have to stoop that low to try to make them see reason.

You don't deal with them. Just let them be.
You put them in an American voting booth!!
Can't reason with someone who's irrational

Who has an irrational belief?

@SmartKat Long story, favorite Kat. Someone recently told me something that I perceived as utterly preposterous. It flew in the face of reason, observation and my own beliefs. "Just you wait", she said with a smile (basically). Turned out that within a few days, I'm becoming convinced that she was right.

So much for reason, observation and my crummy set of beliefs.
