Is there such a thing as a literal metaphysical evil? Which authors write about it?

"metaphysical evil" is a meaningless term. It ultimately just means magic. Good versus evil emerge out of our consciousness as moral agents. Nature could care less. For all nature cares all of humanity could be wiped out by a solar flare.

The point I am trying to get at is there is no such thing as metaphysical evil so long as we deny the existence of the supernatural. Because the supernatural has always been proven to be because of a failure of rational understanding, therefore metaphysical evil does not exist. It just comes down to moral agents failing their categorical imperative . :3

I watched a few episodes of this shit when I was in Britain. It's a stock-standard porno film. They get all weepy and critical of the industry but they're making exactly the same shit. The only difference is a stilted commitment to showing "affirmative verbal consent" at every stage of every sexual act. Verbatim, I recall an actress saying "I would like to suck your fingers now." No love, obviously. Not even a passable simulacrum of how a sterile hookup would play out. Washed-out women in a brightly lit room on thick Berber carpeting. Moaning in a way that is totally divorced from any authentic sound of sexual pleasure but still, because we are so porn-saturated, signifying it to us. Dead eyes. The U.K. deserves the hell it has created for itself.

Why would unity be something noble?
Unifying things which don't necessarily have a similar essence would be destructive and irrational. separating entities which are not similar,cannot be a bad thing in my mind

Besides, everything is change, unifying things will inevitably be a waste of time.
