So you have a belief about Elon Musk, which you need to convince your father of.
But you donβt have any evidence or proof for this belief.
Does this raise any epistemic alarms in your head at all? Like β¦ how did you form this belief?
Moving to antipolar stance requires way more proofs than moving from a neutral stance. Moreover some people may be more informed than me and they could be useful
Iβm saying: how did you get convinced, if not with evidence?
Personally, I don't memorise facts about people I don't like. I learn them and forget them but don't forget that I don't like that person.
I have evidence, but needed more
