I believe you told ME this.

I do recall telling you that. It's reasonably effective in 1 on 1 relationships with people with established trust and mutual respect. Today I'm wondering about how to do it with people I don't know very well.
-
best to not do this imo or do a super super soft sell "oh you don't want to know about all that" let them come to you
-
this is what i'm concluding. wish there was a scalable way to do it though. we've seen the consequences of ideological parasites being scalable but their cures not being scalable.

how does one escape from the dialectic of "other ideologies are wrong and mine is right" vs "relativism; all ideologies are wrong"?
-
simple: ideologies are not the type of thing that can be judged right or wrong without context. they can be used as tools, and tools can be judged useful or useless or even harmful. if you insist on using the same tool for every task you're possessed though.
-
in other words, an idea is a tool. an ideology is a pathology of ideas.
