Before you remove the speck on your brother’s [1] eye, take the log out of your own.

Also known, variously, as the Jordan Peterson principle, the Nigel Farage principle, the Owen Jones principle, the Elizabeth Warren principle, the Donald Trump principle, the Steve Bannon principle and the Greta Thunberg principle.

The more they get up your nose, the more likely it is they have a point. First, examine your own biases and assumptions.

And ask yourself: if they are so patently — (and here we invite readers to supply their own adjective) — then why is it that so many other people can’t see that? Is there something that you are not seeing?
