Really, really, really bad take. "Evils are incomprehensible" is cheap point-scoring. "Evils are incomprehensible, and attempting to comprehend them is itself evil" is cheap point-scoring with a body count over time.https://twitter.com/drmistercody/status/1138590931509075969 …

We’re very quickly forgetting about the banality of evil. Horrible atrocities wouldn’t occur if regular people with internally coherent motivations did not commit or enable them.
What people are *really* uncomfortable with is the idea that people who commit atrocities exist within larger groups that *also* often have internally coherent motivations, explicit or emergent, & that both respond to the game theoretic environment. Understanding is not excusing.
