 Recipe for dealing with normies or NPC’s if you must engage.  Wife & I ran into some on Sat. night at dinner. They came over to say hi. 

Just ask questions. Don’t tell them anything about anything. 

“Wow, what do you think about that?”
“Why do you think that is?”
“How does that work?”
“How’s your family doing?”
“I don’t know, what are your thoughts?” 
 Correct life hack. Keep them talking about themselves and you can’t fail. 
 Idk man they are not used to thinking so much. Might burn a fuse up there with all those questions 😂 
 Too funny. It does & you can see it happen. 

Tip: Quickly switch to TV. 
“Hey, what’s a great show you guys are watching?”

It’s like a reboot button. Hold for 30 seconds & bam. 
 my wife always tells me don't talk about bitcoin 🤣 
 Smart woman. Very.
