You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
Do you know who sees patterns everywhere they look?
Schizophrenics, that's who.
You can give them the material, but they're just going to shit themselves and wait for pudding time.
They can't be fixed. You're not that kind of doctor, and neither am I. Fuck 'em. They're the reason Voat sucks right now. They're the reason the site is down half the fucking time. They're the reason we can't have nice things.
You don't change someone else's mind, they change it after being repeatedly and persistently corrected with reference to facts and logic when they present only wacky theories based on imagined prophesies.
