Steps 1–3 are non-negotiable
Qualify with exploitation, establish respect, expose the contradiction. Without that foundation you cannot flex on later steps — and you will lose the conversation to diet talk or tangents.
Practice
Start a conversation
There is no menu on the street. By default you meet one unknown person and just talk, the way it really happens.
Sign in and the coach will pick each conversation for you, shaped around what you need to practice.
Check in after hard questions
After a difficult question, confirm understanding before moving on: Do you understand? Does that make sense? Do you agree or disagree? Unresolved stones become wasted time later.
Step 3 is exploitation, not consumption
Do not frame step 3 as eating flesh, buying products, or consumer choices. They may pay for someone else to consume, or exploit without eating, zoos, skin, entertainment. Ask if they can respect other animals while using them for their purposes.
Weak: Is it possible to respect someone if you're consuming their flesh, or buying meat for your family?
Strong: Can you truly respect other animals if you use them for your purposes?
