Philosopher DiCarlo's mention of Socrates is ironic in regards to how best to interact and communicate with others on sensitive subjects, politics, etc., when you consider how Socrates was condemned to death for his attempts at teaching the youth to think for themselves and question what is truth. Socrates may have been a great teacher, but lost his life because he could teach his students, but not their stodgy parents. Even so, from his school came Plato and then Aristotle. But at a great cost.

I enjoyed your dialogue with DiCarlo. You, too, are a good speaker and philosopher!
