Have I ever convinced you you were wrong? Not "oh that's an interesting take" or "I hadn't thought about it that way" but "oh, I think that's right and I'm wrong" in a way that persisted. If so, can you think of what I said or how I said it that helped get over the change hump?

I mostly use this site for self expression, a form of socializing, and to expose myself to ideas. I don't use it much as a persuasive medium though because I don't think it is one. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen and I'm not sure those "ah hah!" moments ever surface.

Like, for myself, when someone says something that convinces me I'm wrong, it's not an instantaneous thing. It's almost always a slow fuse / bifurcating / unraveling thing. But...it's hard to then remember: person X's expression was the trigger, or at least, final flake of snow.

Partially that's because — this isn't a persuasive medium and the interface isn't designed to help you track stuff like that. But also — the things where you change your mind are less likely to come from your various (overlapping) in-groups, so there is some natural inhibition.
