Tell the truth first, then present the facts.
Presenting facts and reasoning is a wrong epistemological
Presenting facts and reasoning is a wrong epistemological order, and it should be reversed, first reasoning and then presenting facts.
The reason why many people ignore the facts is because his reasoning is completely different from your reasoning. So facing a person who is completely different in terms of reasoning, if you tell him the truth, you can only prove that you are an idiot, not his stupidity.
If you are also confused on the level of reason, even if you are willing to accept the truth, it is only a stopgap measure, and in the end you will make the fact obey your wrong reason.
Western thinkers have long been aware of such an epistemological dilemma, so they think about first philosophy and first principles. The first philosophy or first principle here is that thinkers try to transcend their own epistemological dilemmas to touch the truth beyond human mind.
Faced with the first principle, smart people should thoroughly reflect on the principles they have agreed to, and carry out important renewal of the conceptual order. Descartes and Newton are masters in this regard.
