my guess is that lots of people would change their minds if they really reflected on it with full wisdom and the assistance of an aligned and emotionally intelligent assistant. but if truly deep down some/many people value their beliefs over truth, and would never change their minds even if they reflected deeply on it, who are we to tell them not to do that? the best we can ask for is that they leave us alone to do what we believe is good, and vice versa.
My concern here is that maybe they would change their minds if they really reflected on it, but it’s not clear that they will in fact do that reflection if they have to decide quickly whether to do so!
