Evil
May 4th, 2009
While I’m at it, here’s another letter to The Economist, this one on 2009-01-09. They didn’t print it, altho I got a very nice reply from the science editor. Maybe I was a little late getting it in.
Dear Sir,
In “Darwinism”, 2008 December 20, you report that people tell
researchers “they would rather be richer than their peers even if
that means they are absolutely worse off”.It is one thing to benefit oneself at the expense of others – but to
harm others even at one’s own expense, surely that is the very
definition of evil.
