Etiquette is a funny thing. I’m not talking about which salad fork to use when you sit down for these “dinner interviews” that your college career center warned you about that no one ever actually gets invited to. No, that “etiquette” is basically pointless. It’s like knowing that Albert Einstein was offered the Presidency of Israel and declined it. Cool to know, completely useless in practice.
I’m talking about the practical etiquette of how to be a human being that doesn’t make your fellow man want to commit heinous misdeeds in your general direction. I get that we live in a self-focused bubble of self-appointed self-importance these days so everything gets filtered through that lens.
