The more intelligent a creature, the more he is able to do deplorable, unsepeakable acts that go against nature itself. It is the intellect that instructs us to do evil; it was the apple of wisdom with which Satan tempted Eve.

The selfish gene explains it pretty well. but the deeper philosophical implications of why these things exist have been the subject of debate for millennia across cultures. It is immensely sad that reality is this way, in the same way that it is immensely beautiful that reality is this way.

the majority if not all of malicious intent is rooted in one imagining injury against oneself and then inflating it to justify whatever act they might commit in turn which they had desired to do anyway before the offense had been committed

>> No.13584339 [DELETED]

The selfish gene is his primary work on evolutionary biology. you don't have to read Dawkins if you don't like him, he's just a representation of the orthodoxy in the field who concisely summarized and synthesized the concepts that had been developing in that period. The selfish gene concept is largely still accepted by the mainstream academics in most universities, though Dawkins himself made adjustments to his understanding of the unit of replication in the Extended Phenotype and there have been various criticisms and elucidations from other scientists.

His basic point, to identify what reproduces, and therefore what is being acted on by natural selection, the primary mechanism of evolution, is very profound, and will alter your understanding of biology, and human society, as the implications of evolutionary theory in the shaping of our nature become more clear, even though always speculative and uncertain, because of the nature of the field.

It can also offer material for metaphysics, seeing the way this vast process has occurred over billions of years.

It does explain part of why people are so malicious. For the full story you have to read a bunch of history books on the things like the crusades, Islam and the butchery of the reformation.
But you probably need one more book to top it off.

because they can you fag. don't you just feel like god when you realize there are people like you and you can just end their whole life with just one knife hit. simple answer is because of power. and what's the point in being good guy if you will die and nothing matters in the end, why not just have fun. even though i know my view is fucked up and childhood abuse and depresonalization played huge role in it, it still is answer to your question
