thoughtlessness and callousness are far more common sources of evil than either incompetence or malice strictly defined. "People who don't care if I live or I die".

I realize now I've been mixing up "incompetence" "ignorance" and "laziness". I used "ignorance" in the maxim in my first comment where it's actually "incompetence", and then discussed "laziness" in my followup comment. Sorry.

FWIW, I agree with you: I put thoughtlessness and callousness fall under the laziness umbrella.
