    You’re probably right. There’s ways to change people’s minds, but for most people most of the time, that’s stuff like social consensus instead of reason. Social consensus can be changed by pushing narratives (i.e. propaganda), but is that ethical to do, even if the science is clear on an issue? Once you create a lever of power like that, it tends to get used for things beyond its original purpose.
