Hanlon's Razor

[Tim R]

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

 

Interesting philosophical tool I just came across. It's kinda like Ockhams Razor. I think it's quite useful, because plain ignorance, stupidity and unconsciousness are much more abundant in human beings than actual malice... 

Philosophical Razors are pretty useful anyway, so here you go:

Today, I almost ran my moms car into the garage door because I accidently pressed the gas pedal instead of the break. I'm sure Hanlon's Razor applies here

He is joking.

@Carl-Richard @Carl-Richard @Jacob Morres I'm quoting myself. It's totally legit. 

Go ahead and try to change something. Notice that whatever you do us just more 'what is already happening'.

How about Homer' Razor : Never attribute to malice that which can adequately attributed to laziness.
