Yeah, I remember a while back I introduced a friend to some simple basic facts about capitalism and it just made him really sad to the point of passivity and not wanting to learn any more. I guess my approach was wrong at the time. I have more success now, but I’m not sure what I do differently. Maybe contradictions have just increased.
I find when you are trying to educate people you know, you kind of have to learn how the person thinks and then tailor the message in terms that will likely resonate with them based on their own values. How you express an idea tends to matter as much as the idea itself.
