‘Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. 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 than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
Oh, okay. I’m just using the website. Look at it in Safari. It’s kinda weird.
Hate to say it but I checked in Safari and Firefox, both look fine… not sure what’s going on with what you see.
It’s likely the newline whitespace characters in your post being handled differently on their home instance. They’re usually invisible but you can see them by inspecting the page. The first appears between “evil;” and “it.”
You can remove these characters by hand, using a text formatting tool, or just by pasting into a field that doesn’t support them like a browser address bar. 🤙
I copy/pasted it through the address bar. Hope that helps whoever might have had difficulty.
Really nice of you dude. Thank you for your post.
Well, that’s odd. Ignore it, then. Thanks for checking!
Does it look better now?
Yes! Thanks!
