A reason to default to kindness: negative stuff far outweighs good stuff in our minds. Think twice before being casually mean on Twitter (or in reviews, or anywhere online), most people are far more bothered by a bad comment than cheered by a good one. https://t.co/xXgtvwTIEy
The classic article arguing bad outweighs good: "Many good events can overcome the psychological effects of a single bad one. When equal measures of good and bad are present, however, the psychological effects of bad ones outweigh those of the good ones." https://t.co/LAB5zADaf3 https://t.co/GoHYmJYfLj - Ethan Mollick

Living in the English countryside has raised my standards for scenery but lowered them for food. So Silicon Valley seems extraordinarily ugly but the food in practically any restaurant seems amazing.
