Strip 65 of #TheAdultManual

Whatte 2018

This is the first strip of 2018

General convention dictates I begin with some form of advice to follow or some kind of a wish that comes true for all of us.

I’ve chosen Hanlons’ Razor as the one single piece of information most useful for all of 2018. The idea that we don’t want the world to burn but we’re most of the times too stupid to realize how we contribute towards it.

Hanlon’s Razor states, “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”

To assume malice as the first cause is a major problem, let’s instead assume stupidity, perhaps that will allow us all more empathy towards each other. Something I believe is sorely lacking. Not everything is a conspiracy to topple you from your throne, not everybody is out to get you, sometimes people just do stupid things. Let’s give them the benefit of doubt this year.

Happy New Year everyone!

May 2018 be as brilliant as you need it to.

See you guys on Friday.
