WIST Quotations Has Moved!A quotation from Hannah Arendt
Moreover, if we look at the techniques of totalitarian government, it is obvious that the argument of “the lesser evil” — far from being raised only from the outside by those who do not belong to the ruling elite — is one of the mechanisms built into the machinery of terror and criminality. Acceptance of lesser evils is consciously used in conditioning the government officials as wellHannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. […] Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

Proto Himbo EuropeanI know it's just one corporate platform versus another, both hosted by legitimately yucky companies, but my job just switched to MS office from Google suite after 11 years. I used MS for several years at a previous job. I have a sense of relief. I never liked managing email, especially, with google. I never got to where I felt I could easily see what emails I had received in any organized way that worked for me.
Of course, I'd prefer not to be sunk into the AI/antiprivacy/educorporate swamp, but if I don't have a choice (I don't), MS feels like an improvement.
