It's not about not wanting to harness that energy, either. I just want to know what AHSM proposes other than drowning out the bad. I know next to nothing about this platform.that you say you want to build, for instance. It's all very vague on your website, which I've perused.

Do I like that this is essentially an ad hominem? Would I rather that facts, evidence, and reason would sway fence sitters more? Of course I would. But you get a lot farther briefly showing how Andrew Wakefield is a disgraced fraud than in laying out the science for hours.

That's just an unfortunate fact of human psychology. Stories and people matter more than facts and science. That's one reason why I deconstruct alternative cancer cure testimonials and why I do posts like this one.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/06/05/katie-britton-jordan-vegan-diets/ …

Well, your right that stories can be effective. The AGW communicators are way better and have a mature literature on this (if curious look up S van der Linden, and S Lewandowski, D Kahan, B Nyhan etc.). They emphasize local engagement, personal story, individual risk etc.

I like van der Linden’s best practices. I’ve often lamented the absence of a similar dialogue in the medical literature.https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1745691615598516 …
