"most respondents were far to the left of their own voting intentions. The distribution of their stickers suggested a very strong commitment to the NHS, action on climate, compassion, tolerance and an end to billionaire power. But many of the same people have voted or intend to vote for Reform, which would deliver the opposite."

I am also reminded of Daryl Davis
https://allthatsinteresting.com/daryl-davisReminded me of the Socratic method but deepcanvassing is what it actually is. https://www.deepcanvass.org/
The point is, I don't think we necessarily have to "convert" people it's just nice to be not reduced to name calling and hate.

Random thought. Sure there are no algorithms to herd us into us vs. them but we still self-select into groups. OTH communication is important. I am reminded of Meghan Phelps.
"But Twitter also opened her up to the opinions of others, outside of the Church. Megan got chatting to a man from South Dakota, known as CG, and before long they were playing Words with Friends together every night. The weeks and months passed and her online opponent would ask questions about her community and doctrine, and she would respond. In turn, she learned that his family was of Norwegian descent, and he was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes."
Some of you folks can do this I cannot.

@harld Goed nieuws inderdaad.
De laatste zinnen vielen me op, over in gesprek blijven. Ik hoorde laatst een item over #DeepCanvassing zie ook https://deepcanvassing.nl/ . Ik ben er zelf te verlegen voor, maar het is iets dat goed schijnt te werken. -
Why #FakeNews About Climate Change is Still So Effective
(and one effective solution)"The #disinformation was simply more compelling than scientific facts, partly because it plays with people’s emotions, Spampatti said (eliciting anger toward elites who want you to eat bugs, for example).
Research has shown that #DeepCanvassing isn’t just successful at reducing transphobia, but also that its effects can last for months, a long time compared to other interventions."

Awesome conversation With @davidmcraney (of "You Are Not So Smart" and "How Minds Change" fame) about persuasion, #DeepCanvassing, #StreetEpistemology and the things that need to be in place for people change their minds.
Very useful, and I love that he's still sharing his findings, and even finding additional relevant studies to share.

Is it ethical to try convince someone to change their mind about a contentious issue?
I think the last few episodes of David McRaney's "You Are Not So Smart" podcast offers a good case for the answer "Yes!"
I love these discussions! Always thought-provoking, and with useful perspectives.
-
Is there a science around changing minds?
Yes, and here's a really good conversation around debating, conversations, how to convince people, what works and why.
In this conversation with David McRaney on Intelligence², we get a really nice introduction and overview of the ideas behind some of these methods.
Warmly #recommended 50 minute listen.

In reading about #DeepCanvassing, it’s important to create a space for people to reason through why they think, what they think.
Oftentimes viewpoints are adopted based on the tribe one chooses to affiliate with and without any significant analysis of a position. When one asks a person to reflect on a particular idea in a non judgmental environment, it can create the conditions for a change of heart

Thanks for the rec. I’ll check it out
I think practitioners of #DeepCanvassing would encourage against argument. Their view is that most folks are emotionally attached to their positions and only a moderate, conversational, and sharing approach can open them up to alternative positions
That said, I think argument is valuable when parties involved have a deep devotion to fact, humility, and an open and inquiring mind

3) If you want to take a deeper dive on the subject of #DeepCanvassing and other persuasion techniques, I strongly recommend reading “How Minds Change” by David McRaney - one of my favorite #books of 2022
This approach rather than yelling and bludgeoning people with facts is shown to move people in meaningful ways. You’re not gonna move views by 10% on charged issues, but if you’re good, 2% - 5% is doable. In #USPolitics that kind of movement is huge

2) If you’re not familiar with #DeepCanvassing, it’s a technique used to engage people with viewpoints you’d like to change by engaging in non judgmental conversations. Learning why people believe what they believe and asking them to reflect on their personal experiences.
The Vox article below is a good introduction to the technique

I’d like to believe truth telling would change how Americans interact politically, but I think that is a well intentioned idea but flawed.
The #GOP messaging machine has battered and overwhelmed truth with simplistic emotive messaging
Restoring fidelity to truth is not simple but can be cracked using #DeepCanvassing is the approach
