I believe in sin and bad character, but "evil" hasn't been a useful hypothesis for me. Maybe my loved ones & I haven't been hurt enough? I don't have enemies who're dualistically opposed to me & I don't see many sins where performative hate is the appropriate reaction.

Maybe performative is the wrong word there. Rhetorical. I don't know anyone who is bad in a deep and uncommon way that makes me want to persuade a crowd to rise against them as a mob. If I had a daughter who was attacked, maybe I'd change my tune.

I don't think there's a subset of people who are pure evil, but there are evil acts and cultural/neural/etc forces that produce them
