I will refrain from commenting on the particulars as they relate to this InfoWars of which you speak, but in general it is one of the facts upon which our society's relative safety rests, that those who wish to do harm, to deceive and to pursue malice are frequently not those amongst us most blessed with the gifts of intellect.
- kamarg 8y agoOr perhaps the smart ones that wish to do harm don't intend to do it on such a small scale as publishing the location data of a couple of individuals who are of relatively little consequence. It's a dangerous idea to assume that all those who are malicious are not intelligent.
- semi-extrinsic 8y ago> It's a dangerous idea to assume that all those who are malicious are not intelligent. I agree on this point - there is an important distinction here between "frequently" and "always". We should be vigilant indeed and seek to uncover the true purpose of those who are malicious and deceitful. The previous remark should perhaps be taken more as a statement of relief, that fortunately there is often an inverse relation between maliciousness and intelligence.
