Rules of Wrist 12-1-10

• Being unable to say something to someone’s face loses you moral high-ground.* Being unwilling to subject your views to scrutiny, or criticism, thereby talking down to someone else loses even more. Being unable to say something to someone’s face, AND talking down to someone because you’re unwilling to subject your views to scrutiny, or criticism, AND turning out to be wrong makes you worse than you thought they were in the first place.
  
  *Exception: When dealing with a narcissist or psychopath who will not see themselves as wrong despite evidence, and may do you harm in confrontation.

• It is statistically impossible for it to always have been them.

• Being “eternally young” is NOT the same as being “perpetually immature”. When you have only the same problem-solving skills you had 20 years ago, with no new ones, you are not “childlike”; you are “childish”. At some point immaturity becomes insanity.
