          How would you rank competent malice, incompetent malice, and incompetent benevolence in order of existential danger to society? I imagine the existential danger increases with both incompetence and malice, but maybe somewhere in there there’s a combination of incompetent malice that becomes unintentional benevolence.

          …And why we somehow allow leaders that defund history education shortly after they flunked it and went on to win a rigged popularity contest.
