Hard truth: You’re consuming the mental equivalent of fast food. Quick, easy, engineered to be addictive, and nutritionally empty. Short videos. Hot takes. Outrage bait. Your brain is living on junk. And just like your body on a bad diet, your mind is sluggish, reactive, and inflamed. — ZUV

Subject: The Public Value of being nice

Dear Esteemed Authorities,

I respectfully recommend that governments and public institutions actively promote being nice as a public good.

Being nice reduces social friction and the likelihood of conflict.

Being nice contributes to mental health and resilience across populations. Encouraging being nice, therefore, functions as a preventive measure, reducing the burden that harmful social dynamics place on healthcare systems and social services.

A culture of civility supports equitable participation and strengthens public institutions. When individuals experience respectful treatment—regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, or socioeconomic status—they are more likely to engage productively with services such as schools, healthcare, public administration, and community programs.

In light of these considerations, I propose that authorities adopt a structured approach to promoting being nice in public life.

Being nice does not imply tolerating abuse or ignoring legitimate conflict. Rather, being nice provides the communicative foundation for addressing disputes constructively.

Being nice is not an indulgence or sentimental ideal; it is a practical instrument for building safer communities, improving wellbeing, and enhancing trust in public institutions.

I appreciate your attention to this matter.

Respectfully,
