One thought that I can’t seem to shake lately is that there’s an absence of “accounting for evil”.

There’s a lot of discussion around what people propose we need to do in order to address $CRISIS (take your pick—there’s plenty of them to go around). These proposals usually incude reasonable and altogether positive steps that involve people working together.

And then I remember that there’s a small percentage of the population who classify as either sociopaths or psychopaths. And, somehow, those people end up in positions of power—or control vast sums of wealth, and thus influence those in power.

It makes me wonder how the proposals would change if they accounted for the fact that evil people exist, and that evil people will act (or are acting) to counter their proposal(s).
