I get better results with emotional rather than intellectual points, as long as the emotional points are framed in a nonconfrontational and nonchallenging way.
Huh, interesting. I’m going to have to try this more.
In a Philosophy class I’m taking, a popular counterargument to positions like materialism is just that it feels wrong. My best response so far “Its kind of like drinking milk—if you think about it its really really weird, but you just get used to it”.
If people don’t understand why milk is weird, just explain the industrial process by which a fluid comes out of a domesticated cow’s udders and into your mouth.
