  1. #HanlonsRazor states:

    "Never attribute to #malice that which is adequately explained by #stupidity"

    I'd like to announce that Hanlon's Razor has been absolutely destroyed, dead, and buried, by Donald #Trump

    Asked about why he didn't tell allies about the #IranWar, with #Japan's PM #SanaeTakaichi beside him, Trump said:

    "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK, why didn’t you tell me about #PearlHarbor? You believe in surprise, I think, much more than us"

    🤦🤦🤦

  2. Before assuming malice online, pause 🤔💭 Maybe it’s just a mistake, a bad day, or a misunderstanding. That’s Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.” 🌍💌 Keep it in mind before you lose faith in humanity 💚🙏✨ #HanlonsRazor #Empathy #DigitalWisdom #StayKind

  3. …wow, this, too:

    “a clumsier but more accurate corollary…:

    "‘Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.’”

  4. Just writing down a reminder to myself, as many times as I think I've learned it, I haven’t:

    “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

    …I never really know what someone else is going through. Let's not assume hate and anger.
