You cannot change other people's minds since it will always be perceived as a direct blow to their self-ascribed Identity/Ego; Their Beliefs are Who they are.

You cannot change other people's minds since it will always be perceived as a direct blow to their self-ascribed Identity/Ego; Their Beliefs are Who they are. The best one can do is to give them the information/advice, appeal to authority, bombard them with data and leave them be. They will change themselves once they start thinking on their own in their own time frame and/or circumstances force them to realize the folly of their beliefs (both are optional).
