Opus 2025-386: Reminders: #6, Go Ahead, Say It

There are certain topics I have written about.  They are worth repeating.  I need to revisit them to refresh my memory and enhance my thinking.  Others need to be reminded.  There is a constant bombardment of ideas that clutter our minds.

I need to once again write on the fact that people are either ignorant, stupid, or evil. 

I was listening to a presentation by Dr. Robert Malone as he tried to explain the “benighted” atmosphere of much of our culture.  He confessed that he wanted to use the word “evil” but did not want to get into the religious aspects of the problem.  He then proceeded to explain all of the destructive deceit that was involved in the Covid crisis and other thrusts of the deep state into our liberties.  He came up with three things and managed to make it all sound like some kind of benign mistake.  His concern for the problem was valid.  His analysis was insipid.

Lets take as an example the work of a famous economist, who shall go unnamed, but who writes for the New York Times.  I have not followed much of what he has said but what I have read shows that he is usually wrong and always wrong in a way that attacks Donald Trump.  For people like him, and there are many, I would say that we have three choices.  They can be ignorant.  For some reason they do not have any facts that are correct.  They could find the facts but it doesn’t happen.  This does not apply to our economist.

This person could be stupid.  Sometimes people are so deficient in intelligence that they cannot connect even simple dots.  Reality is mystery and they do not have the ability to do better.  Again, I would say that such a things does not apply.

The final choice is that they are evil.  They deliberately lie and deceive for their own advantage, knowing that what they do will damage, even kill, people who have done them no wrong.  There is no moral justification for their actions.  The only excuse is they can get away with it.

This quality applies to our economist.  It also applies to most people in the various legacy media outlets.  It applies to a large number of politicians and most educators.

You may not feel comfortable using the title of “evil”.  Okay.  How about “depraved”, “nasty” or “savage”?  I am sure you can come up with a word if you try.

I will go with evil.
