I didn’t realize you were referencing something from like 50-60 years ago. All in all, you make valid points… I have lived long enough to personally validate them. It was just the “thirteen to five hundred dollars” range that made me chuckle!

Plausible deniability and confirmation bias are kind of like a psychological speedball. Look into epistemology (for dialogue techniques) to help him discover any confirmation biases on his own. It can help, especially if he claims to be open to learning new things about stuff he thought he already knew.

Yep. That’s me.
I despise that bluesky is so much more engaging than mastodon.
And as soon as Al Yankovich, Ed Yong, Jeff Sharlet, MOMA, or any of my other favorite writers, journalists and entertainers get busy on Mastodon, I’ll totally pass on bluesky… but in it’s current state it is vastly more engaging than Mastodon.
Even Jake friggin’ Tapper is occasionally (and not even awkwardly) hilarious on Bluesky!?? Weird but welcome vibe over there.
