A: "The house is on fire!" B: "Okay, let's put on flame-resistant cooling suits and wear smoke filters over our faces for the rest of our lives." A: "Shouldn't we put out the fire?" B: "No." A: "I can't afford a suit and filter." B: "Haha, I can. Sucks to be you." A: "What happens when the fire gets worse and suits and filters don't work any more?" B: "Actually there is no fire, the house is going through a natural cycle of being temporarily hotter and smokier." A: "There are flames all around us!" B: "That's your interpretation. You don't have the monopoly on truth, stop preaching at me. You should be more nuanced and pragmatic."
