"...trying to change my mind..."
About what? I'm just pointing out facts. I have no agenda for you to adhere to. These are the facts. What you think about them isn't in my wheelhouse. I just want to be able to have discussions about policies based on mutually agreed on facts. If you believe these data are false, I am open to any evidence you might provide. If we can agree that these are the facts of the matter, we can discuss what is the best way to proceed in this environment.
I have chosen to post here, no less than have you. It seems we are substantially natively in agreement as far as that goes. Insofar as we have any disagrement, I have perceived it as matters of fact, so I provided probative evidence of facts I am aware of so we can reach agreement - not with any political, financial, or economic agenda - but simply to facilitate substantive discussions from a factual basis.
What do you think I would try to change your mind about? That strikes me as being defensive without any reason to be. You seem intent on reason, dedicated to ethical actions in our mutual society. I certainly don't want to change that!
I think we have different views on various things that will shape how we see Hive. Some of what you call facts are opinions. I know what I see and I choose who to trust.
The links I posted are not my opinions. Some of the facts I mention aren't linked, but if you disagree on some particular you can specify it and I can provide evidence of it.
If you don't want to see evidence, you want to believe.
That's ok. It's an important thing to know about, though.
