Concepts

Hanlons Razor

“Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system of interactions.”

Examples

• “My friend hasn’t been liking my social media posts as much as usual.”
  • Flawed thinking: “I must have done something that made her angry.”
  • Hanlon’s Razor: “Maybe she’s on a digital detox for her mental health.”
• “The mechanic didn’t give me as low of a rate as he usually does.”
  • Flawed thinking: “He must be trying to overcharge me, since I told him I don’t know much about cars.”
  • Hanlon’s Razor: “Maybe he’s trying to value his labor more highly and stop undercharging his clients.”
• “My child’s teacher didn’t say hello when I dropped him off today.”
  • Flawed thinking: “What if she takes her bad mood out on my son?”
  • Hanlon’s Razor: “Maybe she’s tired, or getting over a cold.”
