    1. the person needs to have a connection to the conspiracy theorist that is stronger than the identity valence gained by adopting these conspiracies

    2. The person needs to speak emotionally and sincerely, using direct experience (cookie cutter rarely works here)

    3. The person needs to genuinely desire for the improvement of the other’s life

    That is the only way I have ever witnessed it personally work, and it still took weeks.
