I would like to violently agree with you.
Yay.
But before I violently agree, I would like to violently disagree.
Oh no.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Stephen Dubner.
And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.
Today on the show, how important is it to be nice?
Oh my gosh, it's so exciting.
You won the swim meet.
Okay, tell me everything.
Also, is reading books somehow morally superior to consuming other forms of media?
Someone was bragging that they were on track to read over 30 books this year.
I joked that I was on track to watch 300 hours of YouTube.
So Angela, we get a lot of interesting emails from our listeners, for which I'm grateful.
And occasionally there's a comment to the effect that they enjoy our dynamic so much
because it's a little sweet and sour.
They say that you, in addition to being so smart, are also so nice.
While I, in addition to being less smart,
am also mean or snarky or negative, acerbic, sarcastic, critical.
