Today's practice

1. 1Choose one piece of content today that triggered a strong emotional reaction — something you shared, almost shared, or strongly wanted to share.
2. 2Run it through the Ten-Second Diagnostic retroactively. What do you find?
3. 3Trace the phrase or narrative back to its original source. Where did it actually come from?
4. 4Find the strongest intelligent counter-argument to the position the content was promoting.
5. 5Notice how you feel after doing this. The outrage rarely survives careful examination.
