I'm not very empathetic, therefore I am evil? The funny fact is that I'm also very nice to my nieces and nephew, and most folks in general, but I much rather be alone working on my programs and theories. I think defining evil within emotions is faulty at best, and dangerous at worse. True evil has no feelings attached, just pure contradictory reasonings and mystical excuses for behaviors that fundamentally are anti-human and anti-life. Once folks acknowledge that it takes a sound mind to know right from wrong, then maybe folks will once again know what is good and what is evil.

Until then, folks will continue to rely on faulty emotivist ethics to explain the world in our heads and the world which our heads have to guide us through.
