The real threat isn't people consciously choosing to do harm—everyone recognizes evil when they see it.

The actual danger? People absolutely convinced they're saving the world. Certainty is the problem. When you're 100% sure you're right, when you truly believe your way is the only way, that's when systems break and damage spreads fastest.

History shows us this pattern over and over. The most destructive forces aren't driven by malice—they're driven by unshakeable conviction. No self-doubt, no second-guessing, just pure ideological momentum.

That's what ends things.

That's why I hate those who are sure they hold the truth, really, even more suffocating than outright bad people.

The thing you're talking about... the ones I fear the most are those people The group that earnestly claims to save the world is even more dangerous than real villains A question mark could solve the problem, but they turn it into "absolute truth" How should I put it, certainty really is poison This kind of thing is also very common in the crypto circle, everyone is "saving the financial system" Wait, is this a subtle critique of some kind of fanaticism? People who have never doubted themselves are terrifyingly out of the ordinary, never hesitated for a second History is the best witness, after all

That's so true, certainty is much more frightening than malicious intent itself. Really? The most fanatic believers are actually the most dangerous, with no room for doubt. NGL, I'm a bit scared now. Many people in the crypto circle are in this mindset of being 100% sure they're right.

That's why I hate those who are determined to change the world—they're really more dangerous than bad people.
