> Everybody thinks they're incorruptible
It chafes me a little to see this so often phrased as something "everybody" thinks. There are enough people who feel otherwise in my social circles that it's pretty easy for me to consider this as a shockingly dumb assumption for a person to hold.
Though I do acknowledge that you're probably close to right from a purely numerical perspective.

- kragen 5y agoI agree.
- wutbrodo 5y agoJust to be clear, "shockingly dumb" is in reference to the incorruptibility belief, not to your claim that it's "everyone". Though from your response, I think you probably understood what I meant despite the ambiguous phrasing.
- kragen 5y agoOh, I didn't know! I thought you meant that the claim that there were literally zero people who thought they were corruptible was shockingly dumb, and I agreed, even though (construed literally) it's what I had said. Thanks for clarifying!
