You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is difficult to persuade or convince someone to change their opinion or beliefs if they have not arrived at those beliefs through sound reasoning or logical thinking. People are often entrenched in their viewpoints, and simply using rational arguments may not be enough to sway them. To change someone's perspective, it may be more effective to address their underlying emotional, cultural, or personal reasons for holding that position.
