The antagonizing smirk of a know-it-all who can't get laid.

Please feel free to punch each one of these in the face
























Dont you just hate that irritating look on their face?

Politicians, actors and in-the-know teens are the masters of it.

Actually, we are all guilty of this because we all suffer from confirmation bias.

It's just like our helpless reaction to beauty.

It's like our irrational belief in ghosts.

Like our prayers to a god we've never seen.

We do it because it is the best way to deal with the unknown.

It's in our social fabric.

It can be a powerful shortcut to make decisions.

But it also makes us jump to the wrong decisions.

Just like beauty, ghosts and gods do.

Perhaps, before you refute someone, have a quick check at yourself, your point, your argument.

Make sure you've explored all possible outcomes and alternatives.

Make your point with truth and conviction.

Keep an open mind.

Mission for today: obliterate all brewing smirks.

That said, squirrel feels a stinky smirk brewing right now writing this post thinking I'm so smart.
