On: Too Much Power For One Man

[pjscott]

Although people have different definitions of 'good' and 'evil', in practice most people roughly agree about most of it. Humans have very similar minds. It's easy to lose sight of this, since discussion mostly focuses on the parts where we disagree, but that's some pretty serious selection bias.

I think the opposite is the case.

There is a big bunch of people who thing gays are bad or blacks or jews or people who don't believe in their god.

The war on drugs also made many people "evil" in the eye of those who don't did drugs, but most of them just were a bunch of spaced-out-hippies.
