Written in the context of software engineering, but pretty much universally applicable: Why I Stopped Arguing With People.

We like to believe humans are rational animals who occasionally feel emotions. It’s the reverse. We are emotional animals who occasionally think.

Most people don’t reason their way to conclusions and then feel accordingly. They feel first, then reason backward to justify the feeling. They follow the crowd, mistake confidence for correctness, and adopt whatever the people around them already believe. Independent thinking is rare, far rarer than we admit.

Once you accept this, arguing with logic starts to look absurd.
