Have you actually experience at explaining this to someone and getting this result?
I don’t see theists going “HOW DARE YOU TOUCH THAT I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO THAT I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT YOU’D BE TOUCHING NEVER DO THAT TO ANYONE EVER AGAIN!!” after they read a good blog post explaining why God doesn’t exist.
In the same way I wouldn’t expect to get that reaction for anything related to this. I remember sitting for lunch after a lecture on a related subject and other people at the table simply didn’t remember the relevant things that were said in the lecture. They didn’t register the claims at all. Human minds are quite resilient to being changed on a basic level in a short amount of time.
The thing that ialdabaoth is gesturing at with “fuck with your agency” is not an explanation (I don’t know what it is, but it’s not an explanation). An explanation would be a text message sent to someone’s phone in the cell-phone world; ialdaboth is gesturing at the thing where you whisper directly into someone’s ear, which is a very different sort of thing.
Do you feel there’s a concrete thing he’s gesturing at? If so, can you give an additional hint about what you mean that’s not obvious enough that it doesn’t do any damage?
