It's difficult to try to influence people when you're truly coming from a radical position. I mean we know this. But describing how it *feels* is hard to do.
I've always had a hard time understanding why things that make sense to me don't seem to make sense to other people. I spend a lot of time on language. So I can be as effective as possible at explaining where I'm coming from. But truly influencing people takes more. And I haven't really cracked it.
