I don't want to complain too much since in all honesty this isn't even remotely a serious enough topic. As I've gotten more and more educated in ML and adjascent knowledge, I've tried explaining to people my views, why they make sense and how they apply to the urrent world we live in. I push back when people claim outrageous things and I get mocked in return and called a fool. Not being taken serious is harder than I thought and I knew this would happen kind of, but never expected for people, family, friends to actively not take any of this seriously. Should I just accept that ML views are so radical that people don't even want to hear them? Or should I push forward?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your comments, it's gotten clear to me that I was too aggressive and wasn't using the right approach when talking about certain things, I auto assumed the other person would receive what I'm talking about with open arms which was the wrong course of action. Will adjust my framing and discussion to meet the person halfway next time.

IMO, being outside of Meta (the company) space means being out of reality these days. But there are some things about socialism that would stick to the people you interact with. Like materialism: "Do you know that guy who talks a lot about you brain chemistry on instagram? So that's materialism, trying to reduce a person to something calculable." Something like that, you would have to adapt it to your circumstance. It's hard, but you have to deal with it. It's the people you care about or at least that you are obliged to deal with. Be smart about it.
