Troublingly, I think he actually does think these ideas are helpful. Is a True Believer any less dangerous?
"Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice."
- noir_lord 11d agoThey are generally dangerous but they are truly dangerous when what they believe is itself dangerous.

- hedora 11d agoYou’ll like the Simple Sabotage Field Manual too: https://archive.org/details/simplesabotagefi26184gut/page/n1/mode/1up https://archive.org/details/simplesabotagefi26184gut/page/n1... It helped the allies win WWII. It contains lots of good advice (and the white collar chapter should be required reading in corporate training).
- dylan604 11d agoI think True Believer is worse. I would say that if someone is willing to try something while still willing to accept that it might not work but need to confirm they'd be a rational person. A True Believer will not accept that the thing is not working and try to rationalize why others are still wrong.
