If everyone internalized all the points in this post (especially #11, #18, and #30), I think the world would be a lot better place.

That said, for anyone overwhelmed by the prospect of keeping all these 37 points in mind, there's a much simpler way to encapsulate most of them: Words are not the concepts they represent. That one simple fact people seem to need constant reminding of. Reflecting deeply on the unexpectedly far-reaching implications of this little reminder will probably yield all the rest of the points.
