Idiotarianism is part of the same continuum as evil

I agree with Kolya here.

The differences between idiotarians and "full-blown evil" people is more a matter of degree than kind.

I think I said as much when commenting on Woty's blog.

I understand the desire to want to make the distinction. We want to say something like "They're not bad, they're just mistaken!" But what does "bad" mean, if not being mistaken about fundamental moral issues and being willing to act (or not act) based on those mistakes?

Nobody's perfect, but many people have made and acted on choices that place them on the road to evil.
