The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

You can care all you want.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

you can intend for the best outcome, but sometimes that's not enough.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Sometimes you have to be sane.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And sane is Harry being maybe a little Harry there.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He could just say sometimes you have to, I don't want to say actually try because they're trying their best too.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Every anti-vax parent is trying their best to protect their kid, right?

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

They're just doing a really bad job because they're crazy.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And, and, and crazy used way too loosely there, but they're, they're, they're poorly informed and have no inclination to be better informed.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

But, you know, I, I know people who forged a vaccine cards for their children to protect them from getting the vaccine.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And they did it out of care.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

They just, they were wrong.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And so all I'm doing here is just reinforcing Harry's point.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And this is, this is another way that I identify with it.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And that I think a lot of us do is we all know everyone who loves this story and loves Harry feels this, has felt some version of this.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Is what I'm trying to say in a very long-winded way.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I hear you.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I think that I would only quibble in that Harry's wish backfires not because it necessarily will because it's always a bad wish, but because this is a Disney story where it has to backfire.
