The Book of Mostly Obvious Things -- Scripture 1.0

A living anthology of wit and wisdom, built on evidence, humility, and decency.

Gravity does not negotiate. Objects fall. So do egos. Only one of them ever learns from the experience.
Kindness isn't a weakness. It's tactical empathy -- an evolutionary cheat code that keeps the species from imploding before lunch.
If you must choose between being right and being useful, pick useful. History forgets the correct fool faster than the practical one.
Silence beats drama nine times out of ten. The tenth time, use memes.
Before arguing online, check if the topic will matter after you die. If not, go water a plant instead.
Your freedom ends where someone else's nose begins. A rule useful for both politics and bar fights.
Certainty is a drug. Take half a dose and read the side effects.
Facts don't care about feelings, but feelings decide whether anyone hears the facts. Communicate like you're talking to a person, not an algorithm.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity -- or wifi issues. Sometimes it's the router, not the reptilians.
If you can't explain it simply, you might not understand it. Or you're being paid by the hour.
Don't seek a guru when Google will do. But verify both sources.
Sarcasm is holy when used for defense, not domination. The witless should not wield the snarky.
Apologies cost nothing, yet inflation has made them rare. Spend freely.
The universe owes you nothing, but your neighbors owe you basic decency. Collect that debt by example.
If you find yourself in a mob, ask who's profiting. Hint: it isn't you.
No one has ever won a debate by yelling \"Calm down!\" Volume is not a virtue.
Most conspiracies collapse under the weight of how lazy people actually are. Evil requires a work ethic.
Don't confuse confidence with competence. Louder doesn't equal smarter; it just means your mic is on.
If your beliefs require ignoring reality, try unsubscribing from them. They don't offer tech support.
You are not entitled to an audience. You're entitled to speak; the rest is up to acoustics.
Cynicism feels like wisdom but ages like milk. Skepticism with humor is the healthy alternative.
If you meet someone with no sense of humor, treat them as endangered. Do not poke; observe quietly.
Losing an argument gracefully is a superpower. Few possess it; none regret it.
Information is not wisdom; it's just ammunition. Use carefully or expect friendly fire.
The first sign of intelligence is changing your mind. The second is not tweeting about it immediately.
Laughter and learning share a neural pathway. That's why sermons should have punchlines.
