This is an exciting next stage in the attempts to dialogue. At some point during such debates/conversations what is likely to arise is the "crisis in epistemology": how do we know what we know and who/what sources do we trust? For people like myself, who came from the left-leaning, ABC-watching, Greens-supporting side of the culture war, this becomes a question of "when did I lose trust in my usual trusted sources, and what exactly precipitated this loss of trust?". Dr Daniel obviously still trusts sources of information which many now find completely untrustworthy. Perhaps the Dr Daniels of this world are best approached by asking them why they still trust their sources despite the evidence (which may need to be unpacked) for conflicts of interest, self-censorship, top-down directives, military involvement, regulatory capture, Wikipedia rewrites, etc. The medical/scientific data alone may not suffice when people's world view is potentially going to be inverted, as was mine!

Looking forward to it Phillip.
Good to see that this bloke is prepared to publicly declare he's not up to the task,another one to avoid.
