They're Not Idiots
Those who are truly malevolent never push back on being called an idiot or stupid - because they’re smart enough to know that label masks their true intentions.
By calling people with malicious intentions “idiots” you are attributing their actions and intentions with simple incompetence or stupidity rather than recognizing and calling out their deliberate malicious acts and motivations.
The mass inclination will be to accept simple stupidity as an explanation for evil, corrupt, self-serving acts because otherwise it would reveal a darkness in the world they are simply not ready to accept.
James Lindsey:
Simple gripe: stop calling them idiots.
I see this all the time, I see the people, the Leftists, the Marxists they’re doing whatever they are doing, the Biden Administration is doing whatever it’s doing, California is being as Leftist as ever doing whatever it’s doing and people reply with: idiots.
Don’t do that. Stop doing that.
Train yourself to stop thinking that they’re stupid, here’s why:
There’s this concept called Hanlon’s Razor. Hanlon’s Razor is never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
In other words, making it simple: if it’s possible that the people messing something up are just stupid or incompetent, then you shouldn’t think they have bad motivations. That’s Hanlon’s Razor. It’s not fair to give bad motivations to people who don’t have them. That’s the idea of Hanlon’s Razor.
Turns out the Left, the World Economic Forum all these people in the so-called regime, the Democrats - have bad intentions.
I don’t mean your neighbor, I don’t mean average left-wing teacher, I don’t mean your blue-pilled brother - I mean the people who are orchestrating this crap at the political and corporate and organization levels.
The professionals have malicious intention and when you say that they’re idiots, you not only ignore the fact of their malicious intentions, and tell other people in a sense to ignore the fact of their malicious intentions, you automatically invoke people’s thought of Hanlon’s Razor.
Effectiviology:
Though Hanlon’s razor is a useful guiding principle, it should only be viewed as a rule of thumb, that isn’t guaranteed to help you correctly identify people’s motives, since there are certainly cases where people act out of malice or other bad intentions.
