That said, what do you do once you've stated "your facts," they've stated "their facts" and both parties think their own evidence is *clearly* the most compelling? It doesn't seem appropriate just to shrug off this person as hopelessly dense while they do the same to you.
@ThisDinosaur--Do you mean two people on different sides of an issue or two people on the same side but separated by Wheaton Levels? If it's the first, read Haidt. If it's the second where people in the shallow end of the pool are shouting down the people in the deep end of the pool, take solace in the fact that you no longer swim in the shallows. Live your life in a way that's open and consistent with your views so you might entice others to venture out into deeper water, and encourage them when they do.
