A: "The house is on fire!"
B: "Okay, let's put on flame-resistant cooling suits and wear smoke filters over our faces for the rest of our lives."
A: "Shouldn't we put out the fire?"
B: "No."
A: "I can't afford a suit and filter."
B: "Haha, I can. Sucks to be you."
A: "What happens when the fire gets worse and suits and filters don't work any more?"
B: "Actually there is no fire, the house is going through a natural cycle of being temporarily hotter and smokier."
A: "There are flames all around us!"
B: "That's your interpretation. You don't have the monopoly on truth, stop preaching at me. You should be more nuanced and pragmatic."
