Sydney's own Amit Tewari (above), who quit his medical residency to help animals by following the evidence, asked us why he couldn't convince his friends or family to stop eating chickens.
That's easy!
Logic and argument have no impact on the human brain. We want what we want because of our nature and nurture (genetics and programming). Then we accumulate "evidence" to justify what we already want.
There are no exceptions to this rule.
So we should stop trying to "be right" or "win an argument." It doesn't work and it doesn't help.
To actually maybe make a difference, we must fully understand, accept, and appreciate what the other person wants. And that they have no free will. But our ego gets in the way.
What I want is to show you a few pictures from the Sydney area; as always, click for larger:
