I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

Hanlon’s razor
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”
Evil does exist, and it wears the mask of imbecility
Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Hanlon’s Razor means that malice doesn’t exist, just that it’s more likely someone who wrongs you did so out of stupidity than actual malice.
My coworker drank my Dr. Pepper the other day, and when I asked who the hell did it he said he thought it was one he had brought in the other other day, we both love the Pep. Easy mistake to make, and he replaced it once he realized the mistake. Could he have said to himself “Fuck Arcane I’m going to drink his Dr. Pepper because he’s a bitch?” Yes. Did he though? Probably not, it was probably just a simple mistake (stupidity.)
It’s for shit like that, not like the holocaust or something.
No yeah, you’re 100% correct. I just no longer think (however mistaken I was) that it’s universally applicable. I’ve always seen it used as a good and easy way to dismiss conspiracies
