Of course talking face to face would be optimal. I can understand that you have concerns for the future of your loved ones. As for myself I can tell you that I share the same feelings. Maybe we do not see eye to eye or do not identify where the real problems are but we do have something in common. I don't make a habit of antagonizing with others (sometimes I fail) but I try to understand the motivations behind their words and actions.
The only thing I hope for is that humanity can overcome tribalism, superstition and anything else that holds us back. In the meantime and before I die I would like to pass this worldview to my children. That is all I really want.
