He dislikes others talking down to him and he values his own advice over others. To his credit, he is quite intelligent. And yes, he could, but that will come with time.
The two of you can nurture whatever relationship you like. I am just curious.
[Shrugs.] Intelligent people still jump to conclusions. I don't think I'll do myself any favors trying to change his mind. I lost that sort of delicate touch, anyway.
I'm not the one that needs to be convinced. You care for him, and he's certainly been through some extraordinary circumstances. So I'm sure there's plenty that I could respect in him.
Ah, but you think him foolish, do you not? And your answer will not make me think less of you, good or ill. I do care for him dearly, but he can be surly.
Since you're asking, yes. He thinks a lot of his own advice when he's just as susceptible to emotional decision making as everyone else. It's not like that's always a bad thing, but too many people here confuse pessimism with rationalism.
