good faith

This note last modified August 20, 2021

Arguing, criticizing, etc. with the best intentions. Your friend giving you tough love? Good faith. Some jerk on the internet yelling at you about your political views? Probably not arguing in good faith, don’t bother interacting with them.

Before interacting with people, try and figure out whether they are arguing in good faith, and if not, call them out on it.
