Half joking: Weak edgelord who can’t edgelord them into better reasoning yet. What, have you given up the challenge? When will you become able to make anyone reason clearly merely by standing in front of them and saying a few well placed words? see also
I regularly go to low key meetups at the bar and can ask leading questions in ways that can guide people in weird tribal or wishful thinking reasoning patterns to think more carefully. I’ve tuned my way of communicating over a long period to be able to get through to someone who doesn’t want to move from their views. You’ve got me thinking about how to compress it for sharing, I have a big ol pile of carefully [edit: +tuned] social intuitions, pedagogy habits, fragments of therapy skill, active listening.
A book recommendations, since apparently you can read books, something I’m pretty bad at: several people have described the skills from “escaping the rabbit hole (mick west)” and those are something I rely on heavily when talking to people I think are very wrong. The short version is, active listening, ask them questions, give them respect for trying but don’t assume they’re right, just keep asking them to clarify basically. I would have other book recs if I remembered which other books describe relevant things.
edit: guessed strong downvote was due to image, so I removed it
this. if what you want from these people is a set of NPC punching bags, then by all means. but perhaps you would find value in helping them achieve insight.
