To some degree. The boomer is still fiat mining, so he is concerned about wealth destruction. Unlikely I’d convince him to do anything beyond the matrix he’s lived in 90% of his life.

All you can do is plant the seed. He’ll look for it when shit hits the fan.
It’s like most things boomer. The first thought is, “What’s in it for him to offer me this advice?” They don’t understand the answer, “Nothing”. A lifetime of experience tells the listener that altruistic behavior only exists in Philosophy books. The allegory here is they’ve seen plenty of Chicken Little in their lives - and they perceive this monumental shift away from the USD hegemony to be nothing more than that. The move away from the gold standard in 1971 was supposed to be a paradigm shift that would send gold to the moon - which it did (and didn’t)… shifting the focus from enhancing fiat wealth to surviving the destruction of fiat wealth and just having freedom be that wealth is an alien thought to anyone who has enjoyed 60+ years of unfathomable abundance.
We are definitely having similar experiences at dinner parties. I find that younger people get it way way easier. They all know they’re getting railed but can’t say exactly how.
