I forgot who I stole it from, but veganism is my favorite example of a position that has nearly unassailable reasoning, but is still utterly unconvincing to most people.

Do people make decisions using reasoning? Or do they make decisions based on emotions, and rationalise them afterwards using their reasoning?

It’s because most beliefs any of us have start from our intuitive desires and then get rationalised. Then we pretend it started with the rational thought. One of my big realisations as I’ve got older… most people are justifying through logic not deciding how to behave through logic.
