I dreamt about hanging out with donald trump in my living room for hours. His aura was menacing. We bet 1 million dollars on a bo3 game of flipping coins. The coins were big and heavy and my fingers were small and hands clumsy. I couldnt do even 1 coin flip right. I kept messing them up and then being embarassed if the botched flip should count or not. I kept trying to be reasonable and be worried if he will dislike me for my words. I offered to cook him food too. They put him on the tv and he complained that they make him look bad there. I felt like a little bitch

If you want an answer from me of whether evil exists id need an elaboration on which definition of âevilâ youre working with
One definition is somewhat supernatural - the forces of evil. The supernatural doesnt exist so âevilâ being a subset of the supernatural also doesnt exist
If youre going by the definition of âcause a net negative on humanity and/or cause suffering / painâ then evil definitely exists as there are people who cause that. Not all have that intentions, so even if you disregard those there are still people who were born with sadism and sociopathy and who purposefully will cause it. Its not their fault that they were born with such a brain but their actions are conscious / purposeful. If youre using a third definition of âevilâ id need to know it

I just think itâs ~never useful to model people as doing things âbecause they are evilâ, in essentially all cases people do things because they have some motivation to do so and calling them âevilâ terminates any thought about what those motivations could be and makes you understand less about the world

I think that âyou should be wary of calling people evilâ and âevil doesnt exist (as a concept, implied)â are two different things

Even people who just think hurting people feels good are doing it because they want ot feel good, not because theyâre the villains in some story. Like âevilâ in fiction is often a distinct thing from that, where evil destroys and kills just because. Thereâs no indication in like zelda botw that Calamity Ganon destroys the world because it feels good or he wants power he just does it because heâs evil. That doesnât exist in real life. Viewing things like that is bad

The thing they made up for stories called âevilâ is not real
Itâs ~never a motivation that actually causes anybody to do anything and therefore claiming it exists is like claiming destiny exists or foreshadowing exists like you can see patterns in the world that kind of resemble it if you squint but youâre hallucinating it from unrelated phenomena

And the ~ is just there because the argument still doesnât really break down if thereâs one evil guy
Which is why i asked for an elaboration on your definition. Evil as a motivation doesnt exist, evil as a description of egregiously harmful actions is a definition of the word people use

I think most people who use the word are using it to draw a parallel between the fiction of evil-as-a-motivation and evil-as-an-effect and I think this is bad

Obviously the question asked just âdoes evil existâ is unclear and weird. Which is why itâs a 3 day poll not a 7 day one
