Nice.
Yes, exactly that!

Yes, we know that. The question is, "How can that happen?" After all, if people are "essentially good," it should not even be possible: there'd be nowhere from which any evil or "wolfishness" could even come.
So where does the "not good" stuff come from?

You changed "basically good" to "essentially good". Right?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2026 8:16 pmYes, we know that. The question is, "How can that happen?"

Choose your language as you like. The problem's still the same: what is the source of "evil," or "wolfishness" in human beings?phyllo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2026 8:20 pmYou changed "basically good" to "essentially good".

"Basically good" doesn't mean 'purely good' or 'only good' or 'unable to be bad'.
It just means that there is much more good than bad.

Again, I know the answer and I am prepared to talk through it in such a manner that the intelligent and sensitive will understand. It is really not that difficult to understand.
