According to current quantum theory (one interpretation), there are new universes springing from every resolution of superimposed states.
Thus, then, you and the other person have chosen to split reality into two non-resolvable components:…
and there cannot be anything less useful than wasting energy in an alien universe with different physical laws, in violation of Einstein’s proven precepts.
Therefore then the best course is to bow with respect, and leave the area.
Timely question! Having spent far too many years in an area where a surprising percentage of the population believed in encoded messages on the back of stop signs to guide the black helicopters, were firmly convinced the Clintons had a literal hit list, and were dead certain Barack Obama (the President, not you) had a “Muslim agenda,” I can tell you this: you can’t convince people of anything they don’t want to believe. It’s like trying to argue with a Holocaust denier: show him records, and he cries “Fake!” Bring him witnesses, and he shouts, “Liars!”
The sad thing is these people are not insane; they’re just living in an era when there are so many distortions, exaggerations, and outright lies that many people pick the notion they want to believe and find plenty of readily-available “evidence” to back it up. The sources that reenforce what they want to believe then become the norm, and everything else is biased or “fake news.” Thudlow Boink has a point; the problem is that once they know you disagree with them, you’re labeled and dismissed. Nothing you say after that gets through.
