i really doubt anything i say will dissuade him. he's genius level like ivy league top of class level. that comes with a bit of ego. we grew up together so he's like a brother and i've watched him blow up his family with "polyamory" and i had to have a serious discussion with him about not joining antifa (he's old and will get his ass kicked), luckily i think i got through to him on that one. i think the mindset here is he's been told he was a genius since grade school so how can a genius ever be wrong? i'm afraid he is a bit of an npc but he means well.
