@jalefkowit I still remember when a group of people sent up a petition reminding them that they were behaving inconsistently with that motto---and the response was to drop the motto and continue the evil.
@jalefkowit It's sad really, because they seemed to be doing pretty well with not being evil for quite some time.
@jalefkowit "Don't be evil" means to respond irrationally to rational incentives to evil. I don't think they were up for that.

@jalefkowit

google over time:

- do no evil
- claim you're not doing evil
- don't get caught doing evil
- fuck it. evil it is.

@jalefkowit

I miss them not being evil!

@jalefkowit so goes all capitalists
@jalefkowit
»don't be evil» was cheap pr-phrase to begin with
