Talk to people you've already filtered for open-mindedness and intelligence

Trust and good will would help too.

I agree, but that's a bit of a problem and I've kind of been hoping for something more generalizable. It also might be tricky to introduce the matter in a way that doesn[t pattern-match to something beyond the pale. The biggest issue is that if one wants to have a conversation in public, you really cannot filter people who might see it.

That goes to my top level comment below. If you more clearly detail the problem you're trying to solve, the responses will be more likely to be on target.
