For someone having difficulty writing, this was really good haha. But I can understand it. There is a lot of things to talk about, but sometimes words are meaningless. We can be talking to the wind for some people that just won't budge on their thinking. People have all these simulations in their heads of what things are, or should be, but a lot of times they don't do anything about it.
Even if people won't budge, there is still the space to have discussions, to open them up to thoughts that they might use later on. Habits can take 9-18 months to change even simple things - so, expecting people to shift their sense of identity, is going to take more than a conversation.
