What is discussed
AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:
Montemagno urges against immediately attributing bad intentions to other people’s behaviour. He uses examples of someone cutting in on the road and messages left unanswered: what feels like an insult may result from distraction, urgency or limited time. He discusses these cases through Hanlon’s razor.
Key points
- We often justify our own behaviour more readily than other people’s.
- An unwelcome act or an unanswered message may have explanations other than malice.
