Resolutions you can keep
I hereby resolve to eat as much or more chocolate than I ate this year.

Several people have eaten my cooking and survived.

Yeah ok. I probably should have checked the date that was posted.

decluttering? There’s always more to do.

This year? “De-clutter my bonnet collection. When was the last time I wore that thing?”

I don’t know how well I’ll keep this, but in the interest of improving dialogue and reducing tribalism, I’m going to try to do the following:

- take the more charitable view of the people I disagree with.

- “steelman” the views of others when I take issue with them

- refrain from replicating ‘outrage’ memes. Though this is slippery because sometimes the interesting news stories contain an element of outrageousness.

- avoid ‘whataboutism’ and arguments about arguments.

- avoid unbalanced charges of hypocrisy, knowing the equal and opposite change almost certainly applies as well


What does "steelman" mean?
