One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.” <br/><br/>— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (murdered in prison by nazi’s)<br/><br/>So, how do we combat it?

We are hardwired, through heuristic mental adaptations, to see the world in black and white terms. <br/><br/>Education and certain experiences teach us that the world really doesn’t work that way. It’s complex. It’s ambiguous. It’s a million shades of gray. <br/><br/>You don’t necessarily get that though through a STEM education. There, most of the time, there really are right and wrong answers to problems — black vs. white. <br/><br/>The liberal arts, to which the study of law belongs, are a different story. Ambiguity thrives and there are no right or wrong answers … only probabilities based on factual context. <br/><br/>Many law students struggle mightily with this concept. You learn quickly in law that there are no right or wrong answers. The talent lies in being able to cogently analyze the strengths and weaknesses in fact patterns and generate probable outcomes. <br/><br/>So, I wrap all the way back around. Lawyers are trained and judged on their ability to resist black and white thinking and generate nuanced probable outcomes. <br/><br/>I practice with a conservative lawyer. And, it’s amazing to see him do his thing in the court room, and then take his tie off and immediately revert back to his default black and white political thinking. <br/><br/>I guess some people just become inured to cognitive dissonance. 2024-09-10T14:27:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdl8g42mctkxmxhyukmex5j2e4e3wgajlcj38nv7hl7akftgyl5agzypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqw2pgn9q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqrn6d0fwz2aqp4g53g5tpe0axuf8pl0qr5jf5q6e93z4sjx5gttsmq4ydr'>nevent1q…4ydr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What other people think of me is none of my business. 2024-09-10T13:00:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdfvlzawymxz7nmvxhfnv3qs2ncdz3p4nx9g5uj8ltxgw045wuazszypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqwrr5uep In tonite’s #debate he best #Harris response to any #trump arguments is:<br/>“Was that English?

Separation of #Church and #State <br/>2. #Freedom of Assembly <br/>3. Pluralism — you know *E Pluribus Unum* (out of the many one) used to be our national motto until the #christofascists that Trump appeals to started chipping away and changed it to “In God We Trust” (if it’s a christian god). <br/>4. Quartering of Soldiers on domestic land<br/>5. Attempts to undermine due process, and<br/>6. Arguably the 22nd amendment’s 2 term limitation as president. <br/><br/>Did I forget some? <br/><br/>MAGA … Make American Great for Authoritarians. 2024-09-07T18:34:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8trv3qknxpz9y9mmyzzngw7yavxzshy7h8w5ar87fdt5x6ktl46gzypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqwm682nr The **Overview Effect**???<br/><br/>I’m pretty sure nature didn’t want us blasting into space to realize this.<br/>Which is why she provided us with rye ergot and psilocybin.<br/><br/>You’ll get to the same place.<br/><a href="https://www.good.is/when-nasa-astronaut-realized-a-heartbreaking-lie-after-seeing-earth-from-space">https://www.good.is/when-nasa-astronaut-realized-a-heartbreaking-lie-after-seeing-earth-from-space</a> 2024-09-05T12:56:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfk3tff4z8hjzp6amk5pfj9v9l36qfffxfyshaga6886f4x9el4ygzypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqwznm9hw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfk0u3ghhtst8maggrql3hqvnw4jnakte7yjnjce09qa0730qcz4sle56kv'>nevent1q…56kv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We’re watching in real time how every elite family is established. <br/>Theft. 2024-09-05T03:51:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8hpgvmkxdkudd8wv858hd92nu28l7fwfg2n5uwp4jgklqd989hnczypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqw0e543a #OpenAI is being sued on multiple fronts for #copyright infringement.<br/>I don&#39;t know about you, but #lawyers around my neck of the woods call this an *admission.*<br/>When you publicly *admit* the acts that form the basis of the cause of action (here copyright infringement) ... you typically lose.<br/><br/>Hey Sam ... you just lost. #Loser <br/><a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-copyrighted-material-parliament">https://futurism.com/the-byte/openai-copyrighted-material-parliament</a> 2024-09-04T19:50:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszca2dg6aa4843wycptxtkmjnzxjcf3mxkcvnd9xdhg57tuwq808szypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqw724ejk Times of great geopolitical conflict are are coincidentally times to put a great smack-down billionaires. <br/><br/>Never let a crisis go to waste. 2024-09-04T18:48:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst574wvfd3cl5zgz9hqnsrxtwyev3wjuwfyf0zrdxjkxutq2j69kgzypncckgp764vpk64734fvkhr38mruheycn8jj3h4zql4feylamnqwuxw3hy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsywuj55a97mzl2gdumx5kgtpxv5h8a4yltf2kyyw5a0wqsmugvvwgk5fa4l'>nevent1q…fa4l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Of course it&#39;s poor.
