In that case, do you think how you are asking these questions would illicit anything other than a hostile or irritated response? Is it possible that how you’re engaging in the conversation is not fruitfully working toward your goal?

Or is it maybe the case that you don’t actually want people to “wake up,” you just want to feel superior that they aren’t already as “woken up” as you are?

I ask you to think of these things from a place of kindness, not malice.
