Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani 25 Aug 2023 Praise of hypocrisy If I were to name one hopeful trait of our civilization, I would choose hypocrisy. The prevalence of and the necessity for hypocrisy is an indicator of a healthy, virtuous society. Hypocrisy after all is nothing but a compliment the vice pays to virtue Aug 25, 2023 · 2:23 PM UTC Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani 25 Aug 2023 The prevalence of hypocrisy indicates that in this particular society the vice *has* to pay compliment to the virtue. And vice versa, a less hypocritical attitude would indicate that it doesn’t have to. The most virtuous cultures would be simultaneously the most hypocritical Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani 25 Aug 2023 Contrary to the popular opinion, the relative lack of hypocrisy is an indicator of this particular society choosing to punish and restrain virtue instead of the vice. After all, the purely libertine society is impossible. What makes the difference is which behaviors we restrain Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani 25 Aug 2023 Those from the more hypocritical societies may be praising less hypocritical cultures but almost never choose to move there. Which is a smart thing to do. A frank and straightforward society is best appreciated from a safe distance. In practice, it will be unlivable Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani 25 Aug 2023 Immigration is nothing but voting with your feet. And the foot voting indicates our strong preference for hypocrisy. The more hypocritical a society, the more people are struggling to get there We praise frankness but choose hypocrisy. Which is itself a hypocritical thing to do
