I watch his TED talk once a year about the psychology of evil and make me aware of the seven rules that he has established.

7 Processes that Grease the Slippery Slope of Evil

1. Mindlessly taking the first small step.

2. Dehumanization of others.

3. De-individuation of self (anonymity).

4. Diffusion of personal responsibility.

5. Blind obedience to authority

6. Uncritical conformity to group norms

7. Passive tolerance of evil through inaction or indifference

The Cottingley Fairies

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies

Even Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an article about the Photos.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cottingley_Fairies,_pag...


The first 4 photographs look quite obviously like paper cutouts to me, not sure why the examiners believed they must be real.

Also interesting, both of the sisters claimed that they were the one who took the final photograph with Elsie saying it was a fake and Frances claiming that that one was real. Perhaps a false memory?


There’s the novel Photographing Fairies loosely based on that. Also a film based on that novel, but I liked the novel better.


Hi, can you share this theme?


Sure. Since it's less of a theme and more of a custom configuration, here is a link to the installation (it's a portable install, so no need for folders in `AppData`. Just place this anywhere, and run foobar.exe): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j9yfv18j8b2mss4/AABgDgZUfm0KuvEi6...

Additionally, I use the 'Fira Code' font for the UI, so you must have that installed if you want your foobar to look the same. That font is freely available here: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
