If I am evil, then I wish to believe that I am evil. I don’t wish to believe that I am evil. Therefore I am not evil.
Edit: why all the downvotes?
Because that’s not what I meant and everyone knows it.
I do wish to believe that I am evil, conditional on my being evil. If I turn out not to be evil, I wish to know that, and if I turn out not to be good, I wish to know that too. Litany of Tarski.
I also know that’s not what you meant, though. I… don’t even know what to think about people anymore. Comment retracted.
I … see. I guess it was just very easy to misinterpret.
