Can you really change someone’s mind — and should you even try? Philosopher Colin Marshall joins Preconceived to explore the art, science, and ethics of persuasion. Why do some people change their deeply held beliefs while others seem completely immune to reason? Can people truly change, or are we more set in our ways than we’d like to believe? And when does persuasion cross the line into manipulation? Drawing on philosophy and real-world examples, Colin explains why changing minds requires something very different from winning an argument — including patience, empathy, and a willingness to genuinely listen. But are respectful conversations enough to overcome our biases, or is a little manipulation sometimes justified?
