The expectation you're gonna brake that lifelong inertia with a simple logical argument when everything else in the world is telling them otherwise, isn't just naive, it's conceited as hell.

I don’t think the author has that expectation. Do you believe that people don’t make choices? Do you not make choices? Why do people break out of inertias then?

I'm really just venting. Rather not get into a big defense of why I don't believe in Free Will tonight, if it's all the same to you.

As for why... I would say a competing set of beliefs and behaviors that grow over time, or trauma. I'm not saying people can't change but if it's happening from some debate bro situation, that's more likely right place right time than anything else.
