I wonder which kind of arguments made him change his mind; the evidence based ones or the ones calling him an idiot.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

My guess is neither of those. People don't really base their world view on facts. Maybe his life situation improved, he found a healthier community or a hobby

It sure as hell wasn't strangers with evidence-based arguments that did it. I've seen plenty of cultists on reddit before I left. They are like brick walls and each fact is a rubber ball.
