Your ego is so huge that your brain automatically blocks anything that doesn't align with your existing beliefs, no matter how good the idea is. When someone contradicts you, any objective discussion is dead. But people don't resist their own thoughts, so the trick to implant your idea is to align it with their existing belief and then add a little detail that shifts their entire perspective. This is day four of infiltrating thoughts. It is called the addition trick, and it works because of cognitive consistency, the brain's obsession with keeping beliefs stable. If you attack a belief directly, people resist. But if you slightly modify their belief, adding just one small idea, they feel like this new detail is part of their existing belief. Because of cognitive consistency, they have no other choice but to implement it as their new reality. The steps are simple. Start with an agreement, align your idea with their existing belief to keep their guard down, introduce a small addition, a detail, an exception, or a slight shift, so small it goes unnoticed. Let them complete the process. Once the addition is accepted, their mind will naturally reshape itself around it.
