Then you don't know what "fluently" means.

Pretending that Americans are rubes and the rest of the world sophisticated doesn't make you look like a discerning sophisticate.
It make you look like a rube.

That's not Arendt's actual argument.
Eichmann knew what he was doing, and that it was bad. He just didn't care because he subordinated that to other goals.
An algorithm can't be evil. It can just be a bad algorithm. You might as well say that a sticking speedometer that causes you to speed is evil.

>when capitalism is right there being the most banal and most evil thing humanity has yet to contend with
This is ridiculous.
>Angry rate downs despite rising inequality, authoritarianism, climate change, and the threat of nuclear war - all at once.
It's because you don't seem to know anything about history, where inequality was much worse, authoritarianism involved dictators, actual fascists, and a much much greater threat of nuclear war.
I'm not sure why you want to blame climate change on capitalism rather than on, oh, humanity. Capitalism is extremely green compared to the ecological disasters created every day by communism.

Reply to comment by Zanderax in Do no conform: Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Self-Reliance argues that we should strive for greatness and self-reliance rather than the "meanness" of conforming to the society's dead institutions saying that "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind" by thelivingphilosophy
Tradition is also a bad reason to not follow tradition.

"Penultimate" means "next to last".
Adding this to make your reddit experience all it can be.

They aren't. Don't be an idiot.
They are planning on charging for the satellite service. Which hasn't started yet.

Reply to The often misused buzzword Paradigm originated in extremely popular and controversial philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn's work; he defined the term in two core ways: firstly as a disciplinary matrix (similar to the concept of a worldview) and secondly as an exemplar by thelivingphilosophy
Why is Kuhn "controversial?"
