    Wherever it’s going, step 1 is, if possible, engaging on their own terms with material they have accepted. No one is going to be receptive to just rejecting the belief system they grew up with just because someone said so.

    If the scam artist is tapping into the material they were fed growing up and framing what they want in those terms, and your counter point is “well everything you were fed growing up with was stupid”, guess who wins?
