A short monologue by Kardec Trader about why verbal arguments rarely change the beliefs of people aged ~50 and older. The speaker gives a personal example—his father and stories of Wall Street 'one good year' skepticism—and uses Kobe Bryant as an illustrative case: rather than argue, you demonstrate value through actions ("show them in the game").
There's no human possible way where you can change someone who's 50 plus behavior with words. Even for me, I know, like, 22, 23, as I start making some good money, I know the thought process was like, oh, this is not sustainable. You do it one year. I know my dad's heard stories of people in Wall street that have made a lot of money. Good year. It's the same thing we're talking about with Kobe Bryant. It's like, you can have people that doubt you, and it depends how you use that. Are you gonna fight back with them or are you gonna show them in the game?
