Every time I attempt to orange pill someone, it goes incredibly badly. I honestly think I am done trying. I’ve tried various approaches. I’ve tried being patient and trying to engage people where they’re at.

I listen to their endless concerns and complaints about politics and world affairs and even inflation. But it seems that they don’t really want to engage or to think about the myriad issues and interwoven relationships between the history of money and the impacts on society. I don’t know if it’s because it hurts their brain, or because they’re just too comfortable to worry about it, or because they don’t see me as a person worthy of listening to. But for whatever reasons they are not open to it— and it seems that the number of touch points nor the various approaches I have taken have any effect. These are people I love and care deeply about. But they aren’t listening. They aren’t curious. I can’t save them, and

I’m done trying.
