yes, there is times for speaking softly, with ominous confidence

and there is also times for saying "WTF BRO SERIOUSLY YOU FUCKING JUST SAID>>>>"

Also, this love bombing thing reminds me of anytime I try to tell a friend BTC is a good investment.

I want to just stop but it's such a compulsion.

So BTC bombing is a serious thing and someday friends are just going to call an ambulance and have me taken away as I scream about "volatility", and "zoom out" and "you have to look at it on a log chart".

haha! no, most people don't even understand what cult manipulation and induction techniques are, they just say you are annoying if it doesn't gel with them

you aren't obviously love bombing them because you are obviously doing the opposite, causing a challenge, and this is causing them to be repulsed

but that's life, they have different programs, and if your rationales don't work for them, you can interrogate them more, and gently, and more kindly, and maybe you can find a way

but it's really hard to reason with people about time preference

most people barely even can reason about next year let alone 4 years ahead

bitcoin luvs come from 5-10 years of experience

nobody tried to persuade me, it was just the money i needed to be able to trade for fiats if i was going to sell drugs, and later, to buy drugs from strangers in this business, i had traction on crypto very early, just not the maximalism, that took years to develop

People get into ruts, being fairly comfortable with their life, even if they know it sucks. It would be easier to persuade them to spend a couple thousand to go vacation with you than to get them to buy btc. But if they do go adventuring, then I think they become orange pillable.

that's how i would approach it... adventures make people's brains more plastic, and give ample opportunities to make analogies in fireside tales

for the most part, "orange pilling" is just bashing your head against a brick wall... i've never been inclined to really try and i'm dealing with this pharmacist recently and she just doesn't grasp the value of it, even though her boss, and me both do

Make friends with her boss and then talk about it. Or bring in a bitcoiner from town. Social validation - probably works for orange pilling

Maybe she will get a grasp on you and it's all ok :-D
