    The best thing you can do in these situations is to ask a critically reflective question for them to sit with. You can and never have been able to change someone’s mind just like that. What you can is be part of the web of critical thoughts that help them towards thinking critically about their idea.

      Yea they’re looking for agreements to help lock in the idea. The algorithms don’t ever have anyone critically questioning them on their little podcasts.

      So Be the critical question asker that they forgot to be before buying the idea.

      Be Columbo. ‘Oh before I forget Just one last question…’

      Loved Peter falk in that show.
