Maybe a more conversational approach where

- trust is established,

- a relationship built, and

- questions are asked in a sincere effort to trigger reflection

could produce better results. Takes more patience and effort than we typically invest these days.

How do you really propose to establish trust though? Based on what?

Trust requires the initial establishment of some reason to believe the other person, and we're mid discussing why we don't.

"Conversational" implies dialogue.

We're by no means the same, but the Venn has substanital overlap.

By the time we speak to people, we often find them far less monstrous than we imagine, even if their traditions differ.
