One of Carl Jung’s sentiments was something along the line of 100 years from now, what would be considered “good” and “moral” now will be considered “evil” and “deplorable” then. Vice versa. (The Spirit of This Time vs The Spirit of The Depths talked about in The Red Book)

Back then, hangings in public were considered good. Now obviously it is not. Same with red stage’s view of pillaging and raping a village for their own benefit.

I study psychology to be a therapist, and obviously all the lobotomies taken place back then were considered “good”. Not so much now. Today a future possible “evil” can be produced by, for example… CBT, for all we know. Something we thought was good and for the best at the time. The future will only tell what the present can’t see yet.

Today, everyone is doing something “good” that tomorrow’s people will find “evil”. It’s inescapable. Entirely so? Not sure…maybe loads of self-awareness can help break away from some of it, though doubtful.

The harrowing thing to deal with is you already are evil in some fashion…

It’s all subjective and perspective based.

Maybe I find red/beige evil too simple to entertain. Watch enough murder interrogation videos/read Crime and Punishment and you’ll easily get your answer. Hell, on a personal level I can give a few examples I acted out unconsciously as a kid that every person has a story about. I’m curious to see what green/yellow evil looks like for each of us, what we overlook presently.

I would argue that being evil is not only harmful but also doesn't even do hedonism correctly as it's too short sighted and you'll be stopped from embrassing your passions soon enough. If you want to rape people why not wait 5-10 years for VR so you don't end up in jail? What's the fun in embezzling money; I don't think you've experienced spending money you haven't earned. Gets old quickly. The best feeling in life is conquering your goals and the world and you can do that perfectly ethically and also gain the love and admiration of your people. 

There is no value proposition to evil; just low consciousness and foolishness. i.e. being an unevolved monkey.

I encounter those types already and its pretty sneaky. 

Similar to double standards, just stabs harder. Theyre onto something nice but then they hit when its least expected
