Doing the morally right thing doesn’t have to make you stupid. Morally righteous decisions are usually smart decisions, because they require you to go the extra mile, do your diligence, build trust, consider the people around you, follow the rules, rules which exist for a reason. And hope is usually smart too. Because hope allows you to look for long-odds reversals, when all the smart safe plays are just gonna slow your defeat.”
