Helpful article – thank you! 💗 I want to look for all the little asks and small conversions I can make as an animal advocate. I want to be a consistent messenger – and, of course, a peaceful one too. :) What you wrote makes me feel inspired.

As an aside, I liked your use of the word calcify to describe minds becoming more fixed after an argument. And your analogy to illustrate cognitive dissonance: “It’s like thinking both Coke and Pepsi are the best!”
