Which virtue should I cultivate?

12 comments:

  1. I'm making a (possibly unsound) assumption that you and I are somewhere in the same area on the learning curves of each of these virtue/skills... so I am consciously projecting my own answer.

    My ability to do good in every context is likely to be the product of these two skills. The best way to incrementally improve a product is to raise the lower of the two operands.

  2. Also: Feel free to suggest a different virtue, so long as it is delivered as a lyric from Hamilton.

  6. Tony Lower-Basch , Cameron Mount Yeah, I think I'm pretty good at talking and probably better at it than listening. Privilege makes that easy. Trying to do the other is harder.

  7. But, so far the majority has said I should drop some knowledge. So, I need to figure out why that is.

  8. Also, as of now, the voters are predominately male presenting. I'm not sure what that says.

  10. Talking is easy, son. Listening is harder.

  12. Develop false dichotomies. ;)

    Wait, that's not a lyric.

    Put [marginalized voices] back in the narrative?

    Teach them how to say goodbye?

    Wait for it?

    Lock up your daughters and horses?
