Surrender

A Songday based on an answer to a Quora question: "Why can't I change anyone's mind?" Regardless of how good your arguments might be, it's not going to make people divest their opinions or beliefs, especially if they have been held for a long time.... The reason why may be because of the sunk cost of beliefs. It's one of the reasons we can't end wars. Someone has to surrender, and it is difficult for the other side to make that easier. It is inconceivable that there will be no claimed victor.
