White Paper for less wet
Maybe because we're an emotional superpower and we've gotten used to living surrounded by people who are very easily excited, we've learned to offend the neighbor less, developing different techniques for it; when it comes to thinking, without selling ourselves too much, we've invented ways to prevent us from feeling uncomfortable, that is, getting our hands dirty as little as possible, or getting compromised as little as possible. This article is merely a small compilation of these techniques.
1. In order not to offend this, the first thing you should do is look for a substitute that can be offended, because if you do not offend anyone at all the time, you will have the suspicion that it falls on healthy people: hide something, attracting more quickly the effects of the exclusion you want to avoid. The reproach of round truths, therefore, should be something foreign to your community, but with which there must be a cross-sectional or relevant relationship. The farther away, or the more powerful, you are less likely to be offended and hurt by your pain.
2nd Look at the details. It’s in your hands, for example, in the goals you’re looking for, if there’s something you’re getting hurt in the organization, or just in the means to get there, you may not know how to explain it (finding words to that feeling would be a way to “wet”), or knowing what you don’t dare to say, even if it’s free, but it’s freer to shut up, then look at the details: The expression, the motto or whatever, that a bertsolari pronounced that day, Euskal Herria is an emotional superpower, to take it and make jokes about it, not too clear. Let it not be clear whether or not you agree, for or against, but you are a person with a lot of humor.
3. Once we have passed the age to criticize, in our case, very low, the criticity is linked to youth – there is nothing more to do with the average age of literary critics – when it is still applauded when it comes to making an aggressive and (self-)devastating tabula, when it is still viable and adaptable, once the average age of literary critics is exceeded, we said, because it continues to criticize what needs to be done, it must be done.
3. 1. The tactic for seeming and not compromising your taste too much, instead of judging something, is to make known the feeling that produces us in us. We say that something makes us sad, rather than condemning it. Instead of recommending a book, instead of deciding whether it is good or bad, we will indicate that we have read the book in question, in this superpower in which we all live, you will understand what needs to be understood.
3. 2nd It is also an easy and harmless method to replace real opinion without offending anyone. Interesting is the adjective that is used on many Twitter sites, such as the link someone disseminates or the expression of another person. It means: “I agree with what this says or what is said here, but not in a certain percentage that you reject me, that’s why your reading and I put myself under the protection of a global curiosity.”
