How would you approach persuading a far extreme conservative toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

The whole You Are Not So Smart podcast is about how people think and how you can get people to really examine their beliefs and bringing them closer to rationality.

There are ways to do it, but it's also easy to push the wrong direction, and you can't think about it as making someone think a certain way, but helping them examine why they believe what they do.
