As an FE, how do people react when you share your theories? I'm referring to real life and in person relationships.
How do your coworkers respond?
Family members?
Potential romantic interests?
Do you tell them your views on the first date? Do you keep it a secret forever due to fear of rejection from the ignorant and indoctrinated populace? Would you be willing to be involved with someone who did not take your position seriously?
As far as workers go, it's about not putting out my thoughts on the table. It's all about, what if, as in: what if the Earth was something different. Or, what if space was different. Stuff like that. It can lead to a conversation where someone might say, "well, yeah, I suppose things could well be different in some aspects" rather than, " don't be stupid, it is what we are told."
My observation of stuff starting like this, is, people tend to question stuff and do not overly dismiss anything. Obviously you get the few who do, yet most are open to thought.
The odds would change significantly if I shouted, " well folks, the Earth is flatish and it's covered by a ice dome." That would be met with rolling eyes and a possible walk away talk of, " he's lost the plot, is he in some kind of cult or just going batty."
As for family members, it's basically the same thing. It's a case of "what if." I basically leave things open to discussion and use the 'what if' scenario to see how they think.
As a family member may say to me, " what if there is aliens on the moon and they told us never to go back." My answer is, "maybe - but what if they didn't go at all and just said they went because they don't have the capabilities to go."
What if's keep things sensible and basic without exciting any party into rash attacks or arguments.
As for romantic interests, it's probably best to simply talk about each others interests like music or whatever, rather than discussing theories, whether they are conspiracy or otherwise. If, after a period of time, your interests meet on some of that stuff, then it can be discussed. Until then, just keep it low key.
As for a love interest or even a friend, taking me seriously if I came out with what I do, I would expect nothing other than a giggle or a , " surely you don't believe that stuff, do you?"
I wouldn't expect any other answer.
The truth is, we are all ignorant of facts. We all have our own thoughts in many forms. We all have different ways of discussion of thoughts, face to face.
A forum allows us all to express our thoughts and to TYPE argue them. People can think what they want about them and put those thoughts into TYPE, knowing that a massive disagreement poses no physical harm and should pose no intimidation by anyone tryng to force an issue.
