Question by : Is it futile to argue with someone who holds a certain position for illogical reasons?
Or is there an effective way to subvert their feelings.

As an example, a friend of mine is convinced there is no such thing as “alcoholism.” I’ve shown him literature from the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the DSM-IV, all useless.
