If you’re not open to the idea of having your own mind changed, if there is literally nothing - no data, no evidence, no viewpoint, nothing hypothetical even -

If you’re not open to the idea of having your own mind changed, if there is literally nothing - no data, no evidence, no viewpoint, nothing hypothetical even - that might change your mind, you’re not arguing, you’re preaching.
(Is it possible to meaningfully debate with a closed mind?)
