Lex Friedman meets Duncan Trussell

[Epikur]

Quote

“To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.”

That's good, but the reality of the situation is way stranger and more interesting than that.

There is no such thing as evil. Everyone is just doing their version of good.

@Leo Gura

Is it really that great a leap from the quote to your post?
