If the person will never submit to perspectives save for their own then why not just learn to identify their usual audience(s) and what they get from them and just copy? Learning a unique method for every human would just get exhausting.

Eventually YOU, the individual, are of sufficient integrity and renown for a group to submit TO.

The best way I've found is to, rather than state facts, respond to their statements with questions that demand answers that will eventually force them to either come to your conclusion or leave the conversation without a last word. You can keep responding to their statements and provide more evidence for your point, but always pair your evidence with questions ("if [study] shows [this] is true, how can you say [that]?" Good enough questions that cut straight through their theories will eventually force them silent because if they're clearly wrong about something, it's because they don't understand the subject well enough, and when you expose how limited their knowledge is, they'll inevitably either be unable to respond or just result to insults, at which point you have won

It only works if you're actually right, though

That one divine and eternal judge that intellectuals/logicians hope has been working since the dawn of time really has their work cut out for them if being right really matters, but only for the largest turning of the wheel of time.

Or some shit.

Why do you care about winning arguments?

If they're too stubborn and insecure to even entertain the notion of examining their own beliefs by drawing on verifiable facts, then that's their own circus to deal with.

Stop wasting your time on such people, go live your one life.

You stage an intervention in which you pity others against that person without participating yourself.
