Darren M. Meade: Mental model I'm thinking a lot about
Hanlon's Razor — “Hanlon’s Razor states that we should not attribute to malice that which is more easily explained by stupidity. In a complex world, this principle helps us avoid extreme paranoia and ideology, often very hard to escape from, by not generally assuming that bad results are the fault of a bad actor, although they can be. More likely, a mistake has been made." (Source: Farnam Street ).
