But underneath it, they actually don't have strong reasons why.
A lot of people have strong beliefs, but they don't have strong reasons to back them up.
People have become so accustomed and so used to confidently saying their opinions and not being challenged.
But see, when you challenge them and you say, oh, why do you believe that?
Then you'll see that a lot of people's opinions are not as strong as you thought.
Albert Einstein said that you don't fully understand something unless you can explain it to a six-year-old because the six-year-old is going to ask you lots of questions.
And if you cannot answer those questions with simple language, you probably don't understand it very well yourself.
So when someone challenges you or challenges your ideas or says something that you find to be disagreeable, you can use this technique called Socratic questioning.
And the way to formulate it is sometimes as simple as just saying, oh, why do you say that?
Now, it's hard.
It takes time to formulate a response.
Have you ever had these times you're in a debate or an argument and later on you're lying in bed or you're in the shower?
You're like, damn, I should have said this.
I should have said that.

But if you had time to think, you could have said something.
But if you just say, oh, what brought you to that conclusion?
Can you explain to me the thought process that brought you to that?
Do you believe that's always true or just sometimes?
Or why do you say that?
