minus-square@CanadaPluslink14•edit-23 months agoOff the top of my head, I’m going to go with Hanlon’s razor: “Don’t attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity” Although, it’s somewhat complicated by the existence of willful or lazy ignorance.
minus-square@intensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•3 months agoGenerally, by the existence of malice’s ability to understand and then use Hanlon’s Razor to provide itself cover. Knowing the enemy’s heuristics allows you to deceive and manipulate them. Hence, heuristics themselves come with a cost during war. Then the problem is: are we at war or not? Malice thinks we are. Incompetence maybe not. Round and round we go. Which could be our own incompetence, or malice’s plan all along. Fuck.
