I've been thinking that we could probably use bespoke offramps for cults, but it seemed obvious to me that they'd need to be written by people who'd left those exact cults, articulating new views that actually transcend & include the old views, not just pay lip service https://t.co/hoDaDqR4Xf
these are obviously going to be a lot less opinionated towards a lateral viewpoint than the permission structure versions eg for vax might say something more honest like "yeah, there are risks. I eventually decided it was worth it, but it's a tough call" https://t.co/VhioU5axbq
it could be that some of the people someone might be trying to influence don't actually have a deep take on the situation, they just have a bit of rhetoric that resonates with some aspect of their experience, and are thus easily given a new one but https://t.co/7qCchofxGR

@stephlepp Ooooh, this is very cool. Dovetails with something I'd been thinking about which is how to create an offramp or series of offramps for different extreme viewpoints. Your thread here seems like a starting point for a manual on how to do that. https://t.co/xrDGMXUtSa
usefully working with disagreements requires understanding that different people have different context and that this necessarily informs how they see things your view is as obviously wrong to them as theirs is to you https://t.co/dRgb18LzsB
