Hanlon's lesson on stupidity versus evil intentions
Season 1
Episode 24
Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Professor Robert J. Hanlon stated in a witty way:
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Now known as Hanlon's Razor, it's a blunt and humorous way of giving others the benefit of the doubt about their intentions. When someone does something that you perceive as harmful or negative, is it really their intention to do so because they did it with malice? Or were their minds elsewhere, and were they just being human? Let's discuss this in the current episode.
