Flip Sides: Myths We Live By - Spot Cleaning Our Dirty Laundry A project of Wising Up Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About Truth, Fair Play & Other Myths We Live By So what if they aren't absolutes, they can be guiding stars, saving fictions. What are some of the beliefs that guide your moral and affective life? How did you come to believe in them? How resilient have they proved to be? Have you ever willingly released one? Clung to one despite all the evidence to the contrary? What happens if others don't share them? Spot Cleaning Our Dirty Laundry Ouch! How bad was it really? Who is to say? Are we minimizing? Catastrophizing? Are they? If no one knows about it, does it really count? If I'm the only one who minds, is it really dirt?
