- If evil is defined as whatever triggers hate,

whatwedontknow- September 3rd, 2017
then this world is about as evil as it can get away with.
We live in an evil cap society, but the evil is mass consensus. What ya gonna do?
This is a professional pessimism blog. Reality is not what anyone thinks it is. There are hidden factors, blind spots, control functions. Most people can't even read about them, but immediately start doing something else. Not because it's distasteful, but because it's just not done.
It may be dangerous to understand but is absolutely necessary. The world is worse than anyone understands, yet people want it to be this way. Then it gets worse.
Perhaps I'm too simple to be infected by the control memes. As someone who has only been very peripherally affected by Islamic terrorism, I would rather be on vacation.
Computer programmers represent the automatic perfection of evil. Ever since Google became evil some years ago by returning increasingly random search results, I have been increasingly worried that the software/user interface could spin out of control, enforcing the most confortable mass conformity.
The totemic icon of unthinking evil is Bill Gates. That man has probably caused me more suffering than anyone except whoever did Javascript.
Not quite often enough, reality isn't absolutely boring however. Sometimes, strange notions or inexplicable delusions turn out to be shockingly true.
