A system can be more evil than the sum of the evil of its human parts. If you don’t account for emergent evil, you’ll end up with a useless morality where you can’t distinguish between people within human range of good/evil at all. It’s like adding a big constant to your y-axis.

first intuition on the subject: evil compounds while traversing up hierarchies and disperses while traversing down hierarchies. the greater the degree of verticality in an organization the greater the the coefficient of evil that org is capable of producing.

organizations where power has been devolved towards the base, and that have a more horizontal or syndicated org structure are still capable of committing evil but the evil synergy coefficient is limited because of the naturally cellular nature of such orgs.
