On Evil

Did some somewhere once study everything about fear, trauma reactions, amnesia, blushing, et cetera — and kill children? Or is it knowledge born out of organic fighting between people? Is bullying taught?

Man may not have created the coronavirus, but was the anti-vax movement created or at least propagated disingenuously? (The feeling of discovering a hidden truth can be exciting and inspiring.)

Is it laughable to say that evilness exists? Does causing an unfairness consciously and intentionally suffice as its definition? Does the unfairness have to be substantial? Does the person need to enjoy causing the unfairness?

{Is it ”things going bad for someone” for those who deny the existence of universal fair and unfair or have renounced it or don’t care?}

(Causing a person to do it to oneself as a subcategory of ”acts of evil”? What about just toying with how the person doesn’t listen to advice not given the best possible way? A typical school dentist situation with a kid who doesn’t want braces and ”It’s because you’re afraid of bullying. Other people possibly saying hostile words from first person is about to cause you to not improve your appearance. Take what you really want by going through a difficult intermediate period and don’t let something like that restrict your life. We are split into good and bad people.”? Is it ever suspicious to need to come up with the right words for yourself later? Not every single act of nonprevention is counted?)

Do these things matter? How are things judged here?
