We're going through the biggest disinformation crisis in human history thanks exclusively to the Internet's profound ability to change minds by spreading and normalizing bullshit, but "it's just not gonna work" when it's something you specifically don't want to hear.

Edit: ironically, my mind was changed after hearing someone bring this up on the Internet and then reading the scientific literature.

This is a great argument for the possibility of changing some minds. You've definitely changed mine. My policy is unchanged though; I'm not going to set out with the goal of changing minds in online discussions.
