"So as much as you may not like to hear about it, I come from another planet which has a thousand tons of extremely advanced cognitive technology for causing people with disagreements to be able to work productively in the presence of those disagreements.  This includes people with values differences, negotiating; and people with epistemic differences, making bets or figuring out experiments; and people in multiagent-cooperation-defection-dilemmas, knowing the conditions for mutual cooperation; and dividing the gains, when two parties have to work together.  It's all this technology that is designed incredibly carefully to work great when both people use it."

"Golarion doesn't, in fact, have its own, different version, of this technology, that works great so long as both people come from Golarion.  It has people acting out their feelings at each other and yelling and this does not, in fact, work.  Hence Golarion."

"The reason why I don't yell angrily at the hypothetical people with a poorly phrased Wish about to destroy dath ilan, is that I don't think the locus of my disagreement with them lies within their failure to activate a latent emotion which I can activate by yelling my emotions at them.  I think, in this hypothetical example, that they don't think their Wish will destroy dath ilan, so yelling my emotions at them wouldn't help even if yelling my emotions at them caused them to activate the corresponding emotions.  That's more like - you think you're trying to persuade an audience - but then, first of all, the hypothetical audience, if this is dath ilan, also knows the key issue is just whether their Wish destroys dath ilan or not.  Second of all, in our case, there is no audience, or at least, none that has power over our world so far as we know and is persuadable by arguments we understand."

"I have all these rules inside my head for you are supposed to, to do about cases like this.  And the thing is, in fact, my rules would work great if there were a world-destroying dath ilani and a world-preserving dath ilani who needed to negotiate about that and navigate related factual disagreements.  Your rules, I am betting, would not work great between a world-destroying Carissa and a world-preserving Carissa.  And while this doesn't make me right, because I don't have rules that work for myself plus a Carissa and that's the rules I would need, it does make me frustrated."
