I'm a fan of "Southern Rock," but sometimes the lyrics make me wonder if i should drop it. Generally I listen more for music than message, but I don't want my kids hearing "be proud you're a rebel..." in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I irrationally hate the South: its music, its culture, its history, and its people.

This is tragically unfair of me and I admit that I'm embarrassed that I haven't quite shaken myself of that, but I will keep trying

That said, I'll listen to Johnny Cash all day every day

I have decided that it is safe to assume that everyone is an idiot, including me, and behave accordingly: act deliberately with an open mind, making no assumptions, and remain curious.

Frank Herbert's Bene Gesserits had a tenet in which they remained mindful of the naivety of all people, including themselves, ostensibly to prevent allowing hubris to allow poor decisions.

Coming back around to my point: I think we'd all get along a lot better if we'd all agree we're all stupid, but we can get better.
