When I make a mistake, I admit it... I had George Soros confused with Klaus Schwab... two peas in a pod in my opinion, but the error was indeed mine.

They are quite different though. Schwab is both tiresome and laughable, driven by the bureaucrat's soul to slap a regulation on everything.

Soros has burned with the desire for vengeance for all the rest of his post-war life and has chosen to become evil, himself, in that quest.

Well stated! Though I do believe that evil is an inherent quality of the soul, it only requires a means of expression... and in that, there is a common denominator between the two. The triumph of Soros is the tragedy of Schwab... money.

There's a difference between those whose brains were miswired at birth, as sociopaths and psychopaths are, and those who make a deliberate choice to turn away from decency.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I don't believe one can make a deliberate choice to turn away from decency without an underlying psychosis.

There are, of course, special instances... such as in the heat of battle, just to name one... and in such instances, if one is not under the influence of a psychosis to begin with, one will certainly have to deal with the resulting trauma afterwards.

Every choice towards evil is in service to the desire for power, whether it's to dominate one's spouse/child/family or one's rivals in an organization or in politics on every level from the village council to global machinations.

Many terrible things come from normal i.e. natural and common aspects of human nature. The civilizing moment is in staying one's hand when one could easily get away with not doing so.

Possibly the best articulation of my thoughts on the subject...
