Explaining things that are rational but that are outside of the Overton Window, to people who are within the Overton Window (basically the “normies” in modern parlance), is a really important skill for Nostr-adjacent and Bitcoin-adjacent educators, as well as alternate nutrition, health, macro, politics, etc.

It’s kind of an exercise in cultural and language translation, bridging two worlds. Understanding two mindsets and carrying one over to the other.

For me a decade and a half ago, the fact that some people were writing about alternate nutrition in rational, evidenced ways, receptive to normies, was super helpful in breaking out of the retarded 6-11 servings of grain food pyramid paradigm.

Can you recommend a good place to start reference alternate nutrition?

Thank you for your contributions to Bitcoin. What Bitcoin Did and you were the ones that orange pilled me.

A good place to start down the alternative nutrition rabbit hole is the Code Blue doc trailer - a 3-minute video testament by the doctors themselves on the state of nutrition education in medical schools.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but every time I try I get called a conspiracy theorist...

The best way to teach is to show results. When you age healthier and wealthier, people start to take you more seriously.

I find this a huge challenge. Spend enough time outside the overton window and it can be hard to know how to navigate a conversation reasonably.

The overlap in values is still probably strong, though. If I'm talking with a normie about socio-political stuff, we generally share the same ideas regarding - say - humanitarian goals, so I try to start there.

Also I try really hard not to use the words "federal reserve" "cantillion effect," or "money printing" within the first few minutes.
