    I’m just trying to support cooperation with the idea of starting small with our friend who isn’t ready to think big about it yet. I think people need to experience immersive demonstrations to understand the amplification power of cooperation.

      That’s certainly commendable but it ignores the power of easily repeated lies.

      There is great value in earnest discussion. It, however, requires all sides to be ingenuous. If someone’s opening gambit is calculated artifice then all you are doing is giving them soapbox from which to bend pliable minds to their regressive agenda. By all means try to draw them into open discussion but only within a framework of honest representation.
