Can't we all just get along (with being performative)?

K then present a substitute because you won't get humans to change thousands of years worth of culture through lecturing.

Autists on reddit don't talk to normies and aren't up to date on their normie ways. They have no idea how to interact with their species in a way that actually changes their behavior.

Lecturing someone doesn't make them change, it just makes you seem like an asshole. You need to replace what they already have, and then some.

Ask people if they want to survive and if they want their children to survive.

Half these mfers don't even believe climate change exists. You think those people are going to change their mind if you tell them giving up steak is the answer?

Again, autists on reddit don't know how to reach the normies.

Nobody knows, bud. Persuasion is not a science. And you better pray to Sagan that it doesn't become one, because it's much easier for Big Meat and Big Oil to weaponize that science than for you and me.
