@JilltheTooth I think I misunderstood the question. I didn’t realize I was supposed to say what I would tell people to convince them to accept me. I thought I was just supposed to give a reason why they should accept me.
If you’re asking how I’d convince someone, I suppose I’d point out that I’m probably as well armed as almost any other jelly (with one or two possible exceptions), trained in combat and infiltration (which will help if we have rivals with complex and cleverly thought out security measures), am not averse to cleaning (so I won’t assume the ladies will do that for me), have experience with crops and livestock (if we want to get back into any of that agriculture stuff eventually), and am competent in CPR and basic first aid (though I recommend we still look for some nurses).
I also have a wealth of philosophical knowledge for when we start asking questions like “why haven’t we all just killed ourselves?” (existentialism), “why haven’t we all just killed everyone else?” (ethics), “how are we going to rebuild society?” (political philosophy), “what are our options for solving this problem?” (logic), and “why should we keep @marinelife around?” (philosophy of art).
