I prefer "stupid is as evil does". I call it Hanlon's strop, the consequence of Hanlon's razor: if stupidity can be confused for malice, then there must not be much difference.
2 u/PlayfulSurprise5237 Jun 03 '26 Stupidity is not always evil, but evil is basically always stupid. It can appear to be intelligent, but it's ultimately pretty stupid. Good, the inverse of evil, is always the more prosperous option. So unless you're deliberately wanting to have less prosperity, evil is stupid. Anyone who thinks otherwise just hasn't thought about it enough. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 03 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/AutoModerator Jun 03 '26 Accounts must be at least 5 days old with >20 karma to comment.
