I agree with this. I don’t think I’ve ever changed my mind on an opinion (although I have on facts I was wrong about) based on a single conversation. In fact I usually don’t even notice my opinion changed until next time I think about the topic and realize I feel differently than before. I used to be more politically radical but in recent years I have found myself subconsciously mellowing out in favor of reformism. It literally happens without me even knowing it. The same has happened also with regards to social issues, which I used to dismiss as divisive and not important, but now realize that from the perspective of people affected it is of the utmost importance, which probably stems from a very gradual process of becoming more well socialized.
