"honestly was not consciously in orange pill mode."
Sometimes I think my best orange pill moments are derived from this sort of mindset. Perhaps it removes the "this person is trying to sell me something" vibe from the listeners perspective.
I was in Vegas recently playing poker and wonderfully enough a small business owner, a young left-leaning guy, and myself had a really nice back and forth conversation about bitcoin that all started with talking about inflation and why it exists and how it's effecting each one of us. Both of these guys were really receptive to what i had to say because it was just a conversation that wasn't started by me and i really had no intent to orange pill. However, I was getting some serious head nods of understanding and intrigue as i spoke my piece on some potential solutions to the issues that they were both organically bringing up. I unfortunately didn't bring up the amazing case for peer to peer charity.
Very well said. It's kind of a zen thing. You will orange pill more effectively when you're not trying to orange pill.

I think you can say this about any kind of sale. We're all repulsed when we detect attempts to influence us. We also rob our sales pitch of its organic passion when we overthink it.
It's kind of like the "just be yourself" advice for dating.

Even if it's advice that we can't easily follow, the advice is about being authentic

It'd be fun to watch a rerun of such a conversation, watch everyone's body language and speech and compare it with a full-on orange pill attempt.
A massive bonus would be to know what mental formations arise in you both too.
