TED-Ed yeah but what do you do when the person doesn’t listen to logic or studies and made there opinions on things there family said to do and there own experience instead
A combination of pride and anger. People don’t like to be wrong, especially when the person telling them they’re wrong looks like they’re enjoying the fact that they were the ones to tell them just how wrong they were.
What if you come to an agreement that is false? Inconsistent with reality? I'd say that the goal of an argument is to come closer to the truth, and to change more people's minds to be a bit more consistent with reality.
freesk8 That should be the goal, except everyone thinks that their outlook on the story is closer to reality, causing the argument in the first place. Also, is this an argument we're having? 😅
Exactly! You should explain your point to the other person and try to make them understand why you believe what you believe. If you end up still disagreeing with each other's opinion but being able to agree in some forms or at least understanding each other better, you've still done a good job.
I actually think this is why we can only ever get so close to the “truth”. Reality is much more complex than theoretical logic. But I also think that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t refine our arguments because that enables the possibility of changing our minds and therefore “learning something new”
That happen to me many items, if the person realize that was wrong i didn't need to argue more, so i just let them change the subjet, without insisting. It backfire sometimes.
Last time I was as polite as possible, whilist the other participant was continually rude, he just dismissed it as 'manipulative rhetoric'. There are some people who you just can't get through. But the only way to recognize who those people are, is to talk to them.
@@elpi2804 Sometimes what another person says doesn’t immediately cause me to change my mind immediately, but instead causes me to question my position, and then later on change my mind after some questioning. I think that can be hard to distinguish between someone never changing their mind. I think it can also be hard to know if when one set of points fails to change a persons position if other points would or if no set of points could change their mind on their position.
I know how to change people's minds, believe me. Nobody changes people's minds like me. I know words, I have the best words. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it.
If only people were reasonable enough for this to matter: I had a conversation with my sister wherein she suggested I remove a flower from my garden because "it's a weed". Now it turns out that "weed" isn't a strict botanical term and all the word means is that it's a plant growing somewhere someone doesn't want it. But I like the flower so I didn't consider it a weed nor want to remove it. So when asked what weed means she got angry because that's her response when she can tell a logical argument is coming and said "a weed is not a plant". After explaining that "weed" isn't any more definitive than "art" and that because I like the flower that I don't want to remove it not only did she not accept that in a matter of opinion my opinion takes precedence in my garden, she didn't even accept that "it's a weed" isn't even an argument because to her... "it's a weed". People don't raise their voices because they don't have good arguments, they raise their voices when they'd rather fight than argue.
Hadn't thought of that. Weed is in the eye of the beholder. So ultimately it's a weed to her and not to you. That's the way it's going to be. To Felipe Hdez- COME DOWN TO THE SISTER EMPORIUM, WE'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF SISTERS HERE WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. DON'T LIKE HER? SEND HER BACK.
How old is she? Because you can use that quote of hers "A weed is not a plant" for a long time to come whenever she tries to argue xD Yes, bringing up irrelevant past quotes isn't the correct way to convey your logical argument, but neither is getting angry.

One aspect also worth considering is Cognitive Dissonance People are naturally prone to avoiding discomfort in whatever form it may come. When a person has two conflicting ideas (such as “I smoke” and “Smoking is bad”) it generates discomfort. Thus, people tend to try and remove the discomfort by resolving the conflict by: 1. Changing/Questioning a thought (Smoking isn’t really that bad! The source must be biased!) 2. Accepting the thought and changing behaviour (Smoking is bad so I will stop) 3. Adding a thought to justify the behaviour (I exercise lots, so I compensate for it) 4. Trivializing it (It doesn’t really matter/ I don’t really care) So, in a discussion you could construct an argument that is both logically sound, has good sources and resonates with his/her ideas and he/she might still passionately disagree with you simply because of the thought making him/her feel uncomfortable and he/she resorts to the first option. As changing our ideas and behaviour is difficult and uncomfortable we tend to avoid doing so, instead of resorting to the other options. I would also argue that this is especially the case if the idea/behaviour is big, important and something we believe strongly in. Like political or religious views. The more invested we are in an idea the more discomfort we would feel if it was questioned and the more prone to defending it and questioning the argument. So, considering the example of the Iraq war given in the video. The thought process of the people becoming more convinced of their standpoint, despite being proven otherwise might have been something like this. A) I believe the Iraq war was justified B) The Iraq war was justified due to the WMAs. C) This article shows that there were no WMAs. *Inconsistency occurs, discomfort occurs, thoughts must be dealt with* If C is true then B and A are wrong, that would require change which is uncomfortable, thus 1 and 3 might be used: 1 “The source must be biased or false” 3 “ There were others reasons for the war” I hope someone found this interesting I am by no means an expert, so please tell me if you found I’ve gotten something wrong. For further reading, I very much recommend checking out the book Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me by Carol Travis and Eliot Aronson Or check out this video on it that I used when writing this th-cam.com/video/9Y17YaZRRvY/w-d-xo.html I hope you have a lovely day.
And this is why we need expertise we can trust in and respect. No one person can know everything there is to know. The culture we have right now that distrust experts is highly destructive to our democracies. Sure, demand that your source is trustworthy. But don't imagine that you yourself in most cases know anywhere near enough to disagree with someone who has dedicated decades to answering the same question.
It's not just the distrust of experts, but a skepticism of the information and the systems by which humans gather information. Institutions and institutional concepts of "western civilization" are crumbling under the weight of willful ignorance and the collapse of any cohesive structure or belief system to hold us together.
But even "experts" are not always right. They are more likely to be right for well established subject. But for modern topics like : crypto-currency, liberalism, feminism, populism, etc... we have to figure out the "truth" ourselves
+Ha An Pham Of course they aren't always right. That's a given. Id be silly to think otherwise. They just know all those things you don't even know you don't know. And all those topics you mentioned have their own experts, that are well read on the topic, so I dont see your point frankly
If you're goal is to find that the answer is "4." to the question of "What's 2+2?", then what true discipline was employed to test the hypothesis? If some test gave you a different answer, how likely is that test to be included in the resulting explanations?

I think what's most important to keep in mind is to debate in good faith, because no matter how right or correct you are, whoever you're arguing with will still have pride to maintain. If you approach them in an offensive manner that basically screams "I AM HERE TO RIDICULE YOU AND YOUR BELIEFS" rather than actually helping them better understand something, I highly doubt they'd even want to hear your points at all! But that of course will always depend on what the nature of the conversation is and what kind of person you're dealing with.
Very true. Sadly I've noticed people are so set in their ways many times that even when using those three components, they still won't change their minds despite the benefits that would follow. But I will definitely try to improve my debating skills.
It's usually the smarter person the one that's capable of accepting that they don't know something, because those are the only ones that can work on understanding it later. "I know that I know nothing" -Socrates
If you live in a state where the descrimination of some social groups is considered normal you will know how hard it is to persuade people that it is not. For instance, try to convince people that veganism is right, as for now, vegans are the minority and it will be really hard to persuade a person to accept this idealogical concept or take, for instance, homophobia, it's pretty hard to convince people in post Soviet countries (just where I live) that it's wrong to hate lgbtq+ society. Fortunately, though, the situation about lgbtq+ society is getting better. The same is true for veganism. All the descriminations have a tendency towards becoming a minority as our species advance.
One of the most important things I’ve learned is that you should keep your opinions away from your personality. Many people hold their opinions to themselves like it’s their soul.
I agree to most part but not fully because the video failed to recognize that emotional factors also take place to change someone’s mind. Usually, in a debate, people do not change their minds. A debate is not a good way of changing someone’s mind because not everyone is open minded. Debate usually steps on self esteem and pride of the other.
an important thing to remember is that changing your mind isn't bad, your opinions are not your personality, and if you disagree with what you have done in the past, that means you have grown, for better or for worse depending on who you ask.
Had to watch the video twice because the first time through I was just marveling at how "most people thought there wasn't enough information" to solve the opening riddle.
In the first place I wanted to say that on my average thinking I thought about this weekend that I have so much problems yet after watching this I don't understand anything, yet I love how he talk. I'm convinced, that's all thank you
Amazing Video Ted ed is just amazing From zoology to psychology From space to Shakespeare From myths to Batman A to z just everything amazingly explained
I used “cherish” in my previous comment, but I should add that this sign also means “values,” which this video is referring to in the explanation of catering to one’s values 😁
nice message but i wish that in the credits at the end scene, the graphic designer's name who created the visuals be highlighted. Such a tough job to create visuals that convey and communicate the educational concepts a content developer or a writer wants to present. Why we can see artists being credited for the work on tv and cinema movies but not TH-cam videos :/ . I wish there is more support to all the creative people by highlighting their names at end credits.
I like that this is not a „5tricks to win an argument“ video but it also ends with the possibility that you yourself might be the one to change your mind
It's good to dig up what people value and have them explain it to you. People use emotion to remember their positions and to remember who they are but the logic that caused that emotion can be dated or based on wrong information so bringing it to light is constructive in reevaluating it. Otherwise they will always believe it to be true.
SuperAwesomeCaptain McFluffyPants believe it or not, i leaned at psychology school that manipulation using various threat can temporary improve the patient sanity and mentality
I don't know, sometimes it feels like no dispute has ever led to someone changing his mind... sometimes I feel like most people don't even listen to the other person's arguments they just repeat what they think 50 times, nothing can change their mind and there isn't any sort of agreement in the end. 😕
how do you deal with some people's ego ? there could be people who simply wants to ''win'' the argument and they dont actually care about what is true or false
Maybe Ted-ED should do a video on the different past tenses of english then. Learnt is the past of the past. The correct conjugation for your sentence is learned*.
I personally think we should all share our beliefs. If you can't convince someone to change their beliefs then you should just respect their beliefs and let them be as long as they aren't hurting anyone including themselves. I personally hated when people force their own beliefs on to someone else.
When I was in 7th grade, I had to debate my classmates about which form of education was superior: Spartan or Athenian. I was assigned Spartan education. Through the entire time, I thought Athenian education was better, but I had to argue for Spartan. I knew my crowd, though, and I knew that they valued equality and fairness. I managed to appeal to that by arguing that Spartan education provided equal opportunity to everyone. At first, I thought I was going to lose the debate. My class was full of nerds who like knowledge over power, and I knew that it would be difficult to get them to support a military education system, but in the end I managed to get a pretty large majority of my class to support Spartan education over Athenian. I was subconsciously following this video, long before I watched it.
So, in order to convince someone that you’re right you need to use arguments that that person will value the most, which requires listening carefully first

I agree to most part but not fully because the video failed to recognize that emotional factors also take place to change someone’s mind. Usually, in a debate, people do not change their minds. A debate is not a good way of changing someone’s mind because not everyone is open minded. Debate usually steps on self esteem and pride of the other.
an important thing to remember is that changing your mind isn't bad, your opinions are not your personality, and if you disagree with what you have done in the past, that means you have grown, for better or for worse depending on who you ask.
Had to watch the video twice because the first time through I was just marveling at how "most people thought there wasn't enough information" to solve the opening riddle.
I wanna meet the hands behind the making of this video!
Whoever did the animation is a freaking genius
This video changed my mind about how to change another person's mind
Sometimes it's not a matter of changing anyone else's mind, sometimes you just want people to respect you and your opinions and let you live in peace.
Beliefs + Trusted Sources + Values
This made me understand clear
Takeaway at 3:44 -- Figure our your audiences' beliefs, sources they would trust, and what they value and you will likely persuade them.
In the first place I wanted to say that on my average thinking I thought about this weekend that I have so much problems yet after watching this I don't understand anything, yet I love how he talk. I'm convinced, that's all thank you
Amazing Video
Ted ed is just amazing
From zoology to psychology
From space to Shakespeare
From myths to Batman
A to z just everything
amazingly explained
Jeevanesh Sawhney me who doesn't understand a thing they talked about: Interesting...
It's hard when some people are so clinged to their beliefs they can't even listen to opposing arguments.
4:00 Linda is ready to FIGHT.
It looks like she has her fists up for a fight, but she is actually holding the end of the sign that means “cherish” in American Sign Language! 😊
I used “cherish” in my previous comment, but I should add that this sign also means “values,” which this video is referring to in the explanation of catering to one’s values 😁
nice message but i wish that in the credits at the end scene, the graphic designer's name who created the visuals be highlighted. Such a tough job to create visuals that convey and communicate the educational concepts a content developer or a writer wants to present. Why we can see artists being credited for the work on tv and cinema movies but not TH-cam videos :/ . I wish there is more support to all the creative people by highlighting their names at end credits.
More than presenting facts, it's about asking the right questions to people to make them think and see another's viewpoint.
Love the depth and understanding of the lesson. And great animation as always btw 👍
I like that this is not a „5tricks to win an argument“ video but it also ends with the possibility that you yourself might be the one to change your mind
Hi ted ed i love your vids!!!!
Thank u ted ed for highlighting my comment! Its my first time!!!!
It's good to dig up what people value and have them explain it to you. People use emotion to remember their positions and to remember who they are but the logic that caused that emotion can be dated or based on wrong information so bringing it to light is constructive in reevaluating it. Otherwise they will always believe it to be true.
Time to misuse this new found knowledge on everyone I know to suit my agenda because I am a sociopath... I mean... cake.
SuperAwesomeCaptain McFluffyPants believe it or not, i leaned at psychology school that manipulation using various threat can temporary improve the patient sanity and mentality
@@trananbinhjerry6438 because what we consider sanity is not really real
The level of creativity in this video animation is insane
I’m watching this so that my teacher can change her mind on giving me a bad essay score 😂
You guys always have the best animations!
The visuals of today's video are fantastic!!
I don't know, sometimes it feels like no dispute has ever led to someone changing his mind... sometimes I feel like most people don't even listen to the other person's arguments they just repeat what they think 50 times, nothing can change their mind and there isn't any sort of agreement in the end. 😕
Can we just sit for a minute and admire the genius of Ted's animating skills?
It is said that no matter how convincing you may manage to be, stubbornness paired with idiocy cannot be simply swayed by verbal argumentation.
That opening riddle messed me up bad
how do you deal with some people's ego ?
there could be people who simply wants to ''win'' the argument
and they dont actually care about what is true or false
If everything else fails, try calling the other person something ending with -ist.
HAHA
RaCiCisT?!
You humanist!
ROFL
This is great way to explain how arguments always have an unknown obstacle -- the audience's beliefs and values
I am your recent subscriber. And I love your videos. Thanks a lot. Your videos are amazing
When a boat is coming its sail is visible before the rest of it
The art direction in this is beautiful
#suggestion do a video on Pythagoreans memory tips
In a single 5 minute video, I learned more about persuasion than two courses in psychology
That tells you what psychology courses are worth.
Ted ed you are the best I have learnt atleast 20 percent of whatever I know from you!!!!!like if you love ted ed 😍😍😍
Edit: like if you agree
plz watch my videos and subscribe to my channel
Maybe Ted-ED should do a video on the different past tenses of english then. Learnt is the past of the past. The correct conjugation for your sentence is learned*.
Agree with exactly which clause of your post?
I personally think we should all share our beliefs. If you can't convince someone to change their beliefs then you should just respect their beliefs and let them be as long as they aren't hurting anyone including themselves. I personally hated when people force their own beliefs on to someone else.
I realized the hand motions for "beliefs", "trust", and "values" were American Sign Language!
Interesting
This is one of the best videos I have recently watched on TH-cam.
How can you change someone's mind?
Among us in the nutshell.
When I was in 7th grade, I had to debate my classmates about which form of education was superior: Spartan or Athenian. I was assigned Spartan education. Through the entire time, I thought Athenian education was better, but I had to argue for Spartan. I knew my crowd, though, and I knew that they valued equality and fairness. I managed to appeal to that by arguing that Spartan education provided equal opportunity to everyone. At first, I thought I was going to lose the debate. My class was full of nerds who like knowledge over power, and I knew that it would be difficult to get them to support a military education system, but in the end I managed to get a pretty large majority of my class to support Spartan education over Athenian. I was subconsciously following this video, long before I watched it.
Thanks YT Algorithm, I need this when I will be the impostor in Among Us...
This illustration is awesome. Also, very great points. Makes a lot of sense
After watching the whole video all i understood is you said 'logic', 'argument', or probably 'value' at some point.
ROVER that's why i use my trustworthy gun
Such a beautiful visual style.
The art style reminds me of “don’t hug me I’m scared”
True same here its kinda creepy
Fantastic video. I feel like this could be expanded and delved into deeper in a great book. Any recommendations?
So, in order to convince someone that you’re right you need to use arguments that that person will value the most, which requires listening carefully first
I love your animations 😂
0:53 the five in the domino turned into four
Oh yeah... thats weird?
By far the best video I have ever seen
i think the bad thing is when we convinced someon we can do something when in fact we couldnt
ted ed video is always awesome
Thanks, I’m gonna hijack the Flat Earth Discord now and convince them the Earth is a sphere
Be careful soldier, we don't want to lose you
Did it work?
Are you alive?
This animation is just so beautiful. Combined with such good content is simply a brilliant video!❤
So youtube unsubed me from my fav youtubers but for some reason im subbed to ted talks... which i haven't watched in years
