This is a great argument framework to remember when discussing people with illogical arguments. One of the most effective ways to meaningful change someone's mind/position is to use their framework against them.

For example, the argument of we should keep coal power plants/mines/etc because changing would put them out of work. Memorize a few of these for various frameworks, and go change the world one calm discussion at a time!

People will never change their mind on things that affect their livelihoods. Even if it makes the planet better/progresses humanity, it'll put them out of a job they're used too/rely on, so change = bad
