https://g.co/gemini/share/0a0a38963df3 Edit to add commentary: Not the worst, but it still wants to fall into one or another ideology or consequences-detached philosophy (favorable to people because they provide prescriptions without requiring expertise). Edit: my "out-of-character" message here is deliberately also played up a bit (overly judgmental and emotionally charged) and I kinda think it should challenge me for that. |

That said, I'm a bit surprised it agreed with you about the persuasiveness of the final approach (and maybe there's the agreeability to counter my previous point?). I agree a consequentialist argument could be compelling in the abstract but in my experience many bigoted people who care about things like the NAP will have emotional responses to social compromise so extreme that it wouldn't be a good idea to challenge them directly on the consequences of their actions. Without having any prior relationship with someone I would maybe expect that I'd achieve more influence with them if I learn to speak their own priorities back to them before I gently challenge them via contrast rather than argument.
