A predictably brutal end

"Predictably." I spit at the feet of this word and its author.

"However, I will not pretend that George Floyd was anything other than a violent misogynist, a brutal man who met a predictably brutal end."
—Anonymous

Once more for the record:

"... who met a predictably brutal end."

This is prejudice.

This is hate posing as reason.

All the rest of it ⁠— academia, personal opinion ⁠— I don't care, I am indifferent.

But this ⁠— an Aristotelian syllogism predicting a man's violent death — I condemn it.

"Predictably." I spit at the feet of this word and its author.

Ugly, ugly.

I am ashamed for Humanity.

Thinking about the long run

Spending a few million years evolving a neocortex pays off in the long run.
