About this listen

 Manners are full of impossible contradictions—authenticity versus performance, honesty versus kindness, individual freedom versus social obligation. This episode confronts the unsolvable dilemmas we navigate daily: when good manners conflict with each other, why some people get punished for rudeness while others don't, and how politeness itself can be weaponized to maintain oppression. Rather than offering simple answers, the host provides frameworks for living in the gray—accepting imperfection, developing situational wisdom, and recognizing the meta-rule beneath all codes: acknowledging others' full humanity. Manners aren't about getting it right; they're about caring enough to try in an ongoing negotiation we're all making up together.
