    Everyone does not do with good intentions in mind (yes that includes themselves). Not even close. That’s you projecting.

      My worldview allows for less logic leaps than to just assume that someone is evil. My rejection of the term does not imply that you can’t be a bad human being tho.

      Everyone does something that’s at least beneficial to themself, or seems so from their perspective.

      Saying that someone does anything because of their inherent trait is called fundamental attribution error

      Wishful thinking basically, a belief that humanity is by default good, a kind of superiority complex we (most of us?) have.

      Idk, I guess that’s dependent on evolution.

      Species can be diffident imh(scifi)o.

        i’m not saying everybody is good. I’m saying that “good” or “bad” is a huge oversimplification, that not just isn’t solving anything, but actively promotes destructive behaviours and tribalistic views.
