Does /lit/ have a favourite philosophical razor?
Hanlon's razor
>Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Hitchens' razor
>That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

Occam's razor
>When faced with competing explanations, the simplest one is usually the best.

McAfee's razor
>An animal which is large enough to kill you can consent to sexual intercourse.

Consent doesn't exist because subjects don't exist. All that exists is rape.

There's also Grice's Razor which is good for hermeneutics and the hilarious Duck Test too

Hanlon, but just because it has a funnier form in my native tongue that also rhymes."No secret conspiracy, just obvious failure" is the best translation I can't come up with.
