Which razor is this? I like it.

[-] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Gillette Vector Pro Plus 3000 with advanced cooling gel pad. Makes your face look like a boiled egg.

Also known as Hanlon's razor.

I thought Hanlon's razor pertained to malice, not courage. Is there no distinction between the two?

[-] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

You're right about the malice bit. Maybe there are corollaries?

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

It's not listed on Wikipedia's list of philosophical razors, so I guess that means you get to name it :)

Mr. Unicorn Man's razor: Never attribute to courage that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Wouldn't that be Etterra's razor? Or do logical principles work of the "first published" method of naming?

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Good point, it should probably be Etterra's razor.
