The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative makes its first investment
If Facebook doesn&#x27;t try to hire more black developers, this proves they&#x27;re evil, because they must be racists. If they do try to hire more black developers, this also proves they&#x27;re evil, because now they&#x27;re exploiting black people to drive down labor costs. Likewise, if Zuckerberg doesn&#x27;t donate to charity, he is evil because he&#x27;s selfishly hoarding his wealth; if he does donate, he&#x27;s evil because he&#x27;s trying to exploit the underprivileged to enhance his own prestige.<p>&quot;Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld, a priest who heard the confessions of condemned witches, wrote in 1631 the Cautio Criminalis (&#x27;prudence in criminal cases&#x27;) in which he bitingly described the decision tree for condemning accused witches. If the witch had led an evil and improper life, she was guilty; if she had led a good and proper life, this too was a proof, for witches dissemble and try to appear especially virtuous. After the woman was put in prison: if she was afraid, this proved her guilt; if she was not afraid, this proved her guilt, for witches characteristically pretend innocence and wear a bold front. Or on hearing of a denunciation of witchcraft against her, she might seek flight or remain; if she ran, that proved her guilt; if she remained, the devil had detained her so she could not get away.&quot;
