“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge...”

This quote from Darwin's Descent of Man, published #OnThisDay in 1871, pretty much sums up the challenges the world is facing now, a century & a half later.

Just saw this now, thank you @waitmanwbeorn.com. I also just used the nausea-scene from the "The Zone of Interest" coupled with your excellent commentary (from the podcast) in a recent class discussion.

I showed this clip from "The Act of Killing" (2012) in my Comparative Genocide class this morning because it's really a great example of the challenges of seeing disgust/discomfort in perpetrators as a sign of moral conflict.

Thinking also of @dittemunch.bsky.social's work here as well.
