#Idea – Rationalisation / 03.06.22

Very often,
Rationalisation is just a sophisticated way of lying to yourself.

#Idea – Being Offended / 01.06.22

Offence is taken,
Not given.

#Idea – ‘Try Hard Contrarians’ Vs ‘Sheep’ / Media Literacy / 17.05.22

Don’t take everything at face value
But
Don’t assume that everything you hear is a lie, either.
Both are heuristics – lazy ways of thinking.
And
The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Black and white thinking is unsuited to reality, because reality is complex.

#Idea – Forgiveness (or the Lack of) / 05.05.22

Good people can do bad things
Bad people can do good things
For some reason,
The latter is usually harder to accept.

#Idea – Information Warfare / 04.05.22

There is no misinformation,
Just competing narratives.

Probably shouldn’t have it.

We are all imperfect people
Acting on incomplete information.
So,
Remember to be kind to yourself and others.

#Idea – You, Punishing Your Future Self / 02.05.22

Poor behaviour today (diet, spending, the treatment of others, etc.)
Comes at the expense of your future self.
And,
The debts you incur now will be paid later
Whether you like it or not
And often with interest.

#Idea – Episteme / 13.04.22

To paraphrase Ogilvy…
Some of what I ‘know’ to be right is right.
And
Some of what I ‘know’ to be right is wrong.
The problem: I’m not sure which.
