Treating people with respect and care is foreign these days. I like what you have suggested here and agree with you... progress is not made by treating people like crap and puking all over them. In roads are made through care.
Yup. It's that simple.. why is it so tough to be kind? And why dod we think the world will get better doing more of the same thing that keeps pushing it on a self terminating path? We need high quality humans :)
Your definition of debate is too narrow. Debate is having "two experts synthesizing and building on their ideas together vs. trying to defeat each other". Debate can be about "winning" or it can simply be having two opposing sides put their ideas forward. If we didn't have debate, then we'd probably have even less creative thought.
As for speaking to your friends and family and trying not to disturb them I say the hell with that. They disturb you don't they - by ignoring chemtrails, child sacrifice syndicates, human trafficking, poisoning of our food system, the scamming banking system and the charade we call government. You think that's alright? You think we should coddle to their sense of comfort do you and meanwhile take courses to learn to suppress our own sense of utter discomfort that these things go on and the people we talk to don't even want to hear the evidence but keep carping on about "they don't believe in these "conspiracy theories"". If you think that's alright and that we need courses to adjust our proper, natural outrage at such blatant ignorance and denial, then you're joinging the charade and only making this hellhole last longer.
I'm not suggesting coddling or ignoring or anything of that nature, I'm suggesting having good faith and respectful dialogue with folks. In my experience, it works well too. Like I mentioned above, our content and many conversations over the years have done a lot to open up minds in a useful and meaningful way. Whereas other content creators who rage, make fun of, and think they know the truth while they spew it on others have actually created more division and polarization.
Whether in a societal setting, a family setting, or in a business setting, problems are solved and people unify to make change when there is respect and good faith. Otherwise, there is more and more conflict. Part of why we have so many challenges in our world does relate to our inability to connect with one another meaningfully. There are of course many layers to it, but this is also part of it. There's no sure fire way to "wake up" anyone... but i've rarely seen the aggressive way work.
Finally, there are many things about the state of our world that I feel need to change, but I don't feel a sense of discomfort with it all. I make the most of the moment and where things are at. I believe that to be an important part of enjoying life no matter what's happening around us, all while being empowered to move toward making the world a better place.
Maybe everyone won't agree, but it's how I choose to be.
Well I challenge you on those thoughts, but please don't take it as a slight in any way. I think this is how we have to be. So where you say to be respectful, shouldn't we also be respected? We are being sprayed like bugs and a whole load of other onslatne and brutal world. Maybe they choose to try their luck at living in a condition like this, as long as they are comfy, why should it matter? And maybe we should not be so happy to go on thinking we can live happy lives ourselves when we know all that is going on. I mean how happy can one be to know that families are being tossed out of their homes, families are being bombed and their habitat destroyed, the forests are dwindling, the water is poisoned almost everywhere, animals are being farmed in the most hellish conditions, and I could go on, but I know you know. I think we are wanking when we think we are doing something by being nice to people as though that is the pinnacle of integrity.
I am being truthful and if that isn't nice then so be it. In no way do I wish to infer you are doing anything but your best, and this is what has to happen, this is what needs to come together first - us who know. We who have the knowledge and are simply joining the charade and so more deaths, more suffering, more brutality and our evolution gets halted. All because the majority of people are not interested in what happens to others, they are only interested in what makes their life immediately comfortable. I like comfort just like everyone else, but I am the only one that goes around saying what needs to be said. Not even "truthers" defend me in this because they are so hellbent of being "polite" and not offending others. But it offends me. Soimehow they don't care about that. So you see the trap we're in?
What we need is for us who know what's going on to have talks and work out strategies and not be so alone. We are few and so very sparsely populated but today we have instant communication. I see that nothing is being done, in fact, keeping people comfortable is making it worse because then it makes it harder for them to believe what is really going on.
The right to offend is far more important than the right not to be offended. I completely agree with you here. The harsh truth though is most people won't want to see it at all and go on living in cloud cuckoo land.
So glad to have some consensus here. It doesn't make sense when people think we shouldn't offend others. How can we tippie toe around eveyrone's feelings? And what if I find it offensive that they think I am bound to not offend others? It's impossible to apply. Yet I find there is so much pressure to "not offend" that we really need to just sound off about it and to heck with those who take offense at free speech. It really is a way of thinking that has to go if we are to be able to be adult. Simply say something back to the offender - that's all that has to happen. It's simple interaction. We who don't fall for that ought to be vocal about it, thanks for standing for free speech.
Will unpack things more tomorrow as there is a lot of fun to discuss here. But I did want to be clear, if someone is offended by something, that's all fine and dandy. Once cannot control how someone reacts. I also pointed out in the video that you can be respectful and come in good faith and someone may still go off the rails, that's OK too. I'm merely trying to bring to light here that many folks go in guns blazing and then become confused as to why people shy away from these conversations. Respecting someone and coming in good faith is also not the same as walking on eggshells so they don't get offended. Further, we can often convince ourselves we have to be a lot more aggressive in getting something across than we actually need to be. Will throw in a bit more tomorrow :)

Exactly. Anyone is bound to be offended by just about anything. So there's no pleasing anyone at all, despite someone's best intentions.
