@Alaknar@carrickkv2@GergelyOrosz That, or you've boxed yourself into the flawed logic that malice is impossible without competence.
Whole industries have been gutted by people who just bullshit their way into the top and start extracting value until the system collapses.
@iniemohk By the end of the day, the price is good so long as both parties are happy
Also I do hope someone (maybe me) will commission you to do some art based on Afterworld
@Alaknar@carrickkv2@GergelyOrosz Yes, I am suggesting that charlatans tend to be incompetent at the thing they're trying to convince you that they are competent at.
They know they can't do what they promise but they will do their best to make you believe that they can.
@Alaknar@carrickkv2@GergelyOrosz The problem with your logic is that it assumes that malice requires competency.
I suggest you reconsider that framing before you get finessed by a charlatan. Have a nice day.
@Alaknar@carrickkv2@GergelyOrosz I've dealt with enough incompetent people who purposefully lie, cheat, and bribe their way into getting what they want to know that malice and incompetence aren't mutually exclusive.
@DictatorClass You've let out the most important part: Joining or forming a secretive clique of like-minded patriot chuds and establish a patronage network meant to ensure those in power share your motivations and values.
You can't change the system alone.
@privbundle@iniemohk Doesn't count because he wouldn't be part of The Golden Path that way, though let's be honest Ajay eating crab rangoon while shooting shit up with his would-be adoptive father Pagan Min would be the BEST Ending
