I really can't say, we simply don't agree. I say "I'd just rather my data belongs to me and curate who I share it with" and she hears "GIANT SPACE LIZARDS ARE TRYING TO MELT THE AMAZON" and just pictures me wearing a tin-foil hat.

I once asked her "If someone was standing outside our window, watching and taking notes, would you draw the curtains?" and she spent more time arguing that the metaphor was ridiculous and irrelevant than actually rationalizing the point I was trying to make. Literally no argument I've seen works on her. She just doesn't agree.

Yes, I think that's fairly accurate.

It's really that, while I've respected her choice to not participate in any of the practices/protocols I've recommended, she doesn't see my own involvement in them as anything more than a waste of time. Even more so, she's said she worries about the way it might change me into a paranoid person (conspiracy theorist).

Which feels a little disrespectful of the beliefs I've chosen. Like being told you're worshipping the wrong god, by your partner.

Please detail the arcane wizardry which allowed you to achieve the respectful of your choices part you described, because it is the only way your story differs from my own situation.

While there is some utility aded by this for some of the recipients, can you seriously tell me that a positive impact would be ubiquitous?

The data often suggests that gun related incidents increase and are correlated to density of guns. By adding more, you're kindling the fire.

Bigger cloud, more rain.
