Quote of the Day

The things we see every day — and have seen every day for the past two decades in particular — are not the byproduct of singular screw-ups, or youthful folly, but rather unvarnished malevolence. And, as a result, we have no reason to give these people the benefit of the doubt.

—Matthew Hughes

I think that the calculus here is accurate.

Fundamentally, when one looks at Silly-Con Valley, it is clear that these so-called "missteps" that we continuously see are not the product of incompetence.

If it were, these "Accidents" would not always accrue to the benefit of the malefactors.

So, after dozens, if not hundreds, of similar incidents, we turn a decades old aphorism on its head, "Never attribute to stupidity which can be adequately explained by malice."

To quote a psychopathic moron responsible for what is almost certainly millions of deaths, "ool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
