I'm not thinking about activism, although that has its uses. I'm thinking of putting your argument in writing. Stating your case.

Maybe in a blog post, or in a journalistic piece. Or maybe in a paper submitted to a journal. Maybe you'll even have to write a book. .

It's really difficult and often near impossible to persuade the true believers. So, it always feels a bit hopeless.

But, that's always been the case. It's *never* been easy to change the true believers' minds. And yet, change happens.

I wouldn't get so downhearted. Think of all the people who read your Areo piece. Who found yr arguments compelling.

And these arguments have an effect! It's not just preaching to the converted. Good arguments drive out bad. Eventually.
