Occam's razor

“To carve away the rotten bits of my festering mind with Occam’s razor of the better angels of my greater nature. And while I am 100 percent positive that last thought did not make any f------ sense, it certainly felt true when I thought it, and that matters.”

It’s possible he's a true believer in this nonsense, but Occam's razor suggests that when politicians tell lies they do so for their own benefit.

The pat dismissal of what appears to be obvious is suspicious in itself, and part of the reason that millions of boys are internalizing the Occam’s razor solution: They’re simply inferior.

Occam’s razor likely wins out here: It was not a conspiracy, it was just an act of violence—a school shooting at a Trump rally.

The scientific establishment, and more important its financial backers, have to use Occam’s razor and assume the latter — that the particle-accelerator game has somehow become rigged, and is therefore useless.
