do you have thoughts on how to communicate better with people who are operating at a respect deficit due to often making highly conspiracy-focused claims?
Sorry for the delayed response, your question left me a bit stumped.
If said person is a stranger with no mutual friends or acquaintances, then I believe Socratic questioning, as described in the post, is perhaps still the best approach, if simply due to the lack of better alternatives.
If you do share mutual friends or acquaintances, then it’s a bit simpler, as there’s an intermediary who can vouch for some amount of trustworthiness.
