An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!
ULPT Rules:
- Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
- Tips must provide some benefit to you.
- Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
- No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
- No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

Unfortunately the boomerang effect and tribalism says education won't work either. The best evidence I've read about is when their tribal leaders change their mind or they change their tribe.
Not sure cutting someone off from their tribe will get them to find another tribe to your point. But education has proven to be ineffective as well.
I've gotten "I don't care" as a response too many times when I present facts and studies.
Education and understanding means fuckall when the person has no interest in understanding, especially when their entire worldview depends on them not understanding.
Exactly!
My philosophy professor put it this way, 'you can't use logic to dig someone out of a hole that they made without logic in the first place.'
