The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even - if you will - eccentricity. That is, something that can39;t be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned impostor couldn39;t be happy with.

It always goes for big numbers, for confident granite, for ideological purity, for drilled armies and balanced sheets. Its proclivity for such things has to do presumably with its innate in-security, but this realization, again, is of small comfort when Evil triumphs.
