18 hours ago@CapriciousDay one of the most common misunderstandings about “razor principles” is that one should completely discard hypothesis that does not pass the razor. The thing is, razor principles is a priority-sorting mechanism, not discarding. The simpliest explanation for everything is God of The Gaps (and that’s how Occam’s Razor should had work in Occam’s reasonings), but we understand that God is not enough.
Same goes for Hanlon’s Razor. If stupidity is not enough, you should go with the next hypothesis - malevolent supidity.
@ParlaMint cryptids. Fun thing is, that makes me extra-sceptical on such sort of things. I’m so willling to believe, that I have to double-check, triple-check any evidence I get just to be sure it is really the thing, not just me wishful-thinking.
