Most abstract beliefs most people have make pretty much no difference to their actions. They hold those beliefs not to advise action but to help them think and talk about interesting topics, so they can win friends (and mates and employers) and influence people. For these purposes, changing their minds may well not usually be a good deal.
Do you have some evidence that back up this statement? I understand if this is just something you believe in. I don´t and if you actually have evidence that could update my belief I would be thankful.
