kuraruka to make things short lets say this, something is true until proven wrong right? so if something is never proven wrong it will keep being true or at least possible >_>
Earth was flat = common belief, it was proven wrong so it became a lie
Black holes absorbed whole stars into them and for long people wondered what happened inside a black hole (some even thought you could live inside a black hole, trapped by gravity yet alive) = common belief (for common people?) , it was proven wrong (at least in theory) that a black hole is more like a cosmic blender.That is how Society or better say Mankind works, you can be the only person in the world that is right about something, yet if you can't back it up, you will be wrong
We seem to be going in circles. You can't have read my entire post.
Something isn't true until proven wrong; something is believed to be true until proven wrong (and may continue to be believed after that). If something is proven wrong, then, assuming that nothing is wrong or lacking in the arguments behind the proof, then that something was always wrong. People just didn't realize it.
I don't remember questioning your analysis of how society functions. If you are the only person in the world right about something while everyone else disagrees with you, you may be wrong as far as the rest of the world is concerned, and you may even to all practical intents and purposes be wrong, as was Copernicus when he proposed that the Earth was not the center of the universe in a world full of people that lived on the presumption that it was, but you'd still, in the end, be right. In that case it would be society, or mankind, that was wrong.
Allow me to reacquaint you with... THE GROUND!

With that said, we can move on
Anyone with enough knowledge of psychology to enlighten us about the 10 most common and the 10 most uncommon criminal profiles? I don't remember any of them

I run my life with 2 forces, LOGIC and Common sense... Religious Zealots can just die, the world would probably be a better place if they did.
Never do to others what you wouldn't like them to do to ya 🙂 😃
Anyone else see the irony? (Sorry, I couldn't resist).
I would agree that in absolute terms, good and evil are nonexistant. Our morals are shaped when we are raised in order to benefit society by basic thoughts like "killing is bad" or "charity is good", but ultimately everything is subjective.
From a personal standpoint, I tend to become more focused on understanding the moral positions of others than I am concerned with my own actions. I often find that I have gut reactions to the way people act or speak, and I become curious as to what could allow them to think that way. In the end, we're all just humans. it's not like we act with the intent to be "evil".
....totally agree just like whats right or wrong, its only there to benefit others, WE ARE HELD DOWN BY SOCIETY!

People are controlled by their emotions. If someone kills some guy's friend. That guy will feel sad and angry because he kill miss his friend. Other people fear being killed themselves, so now killing is wrong. Then they punish the killer.
I'm not saying killing is okay. When you see something like a young girl getting raped and murdered in the news, even though you don't know her, you feel pity for her and her family. More emotions. It's hard not to feel anything. If there weren't any emotions, then people wouldn't care, and there would be no good or evil. Like normally, if someone punches you, they might be feeling bitter, anger, or whatever. Then you in return would get angry and punch back. Without emotions/moods this would be prevented. Then again, life would suck without any emotions. But I'm just saying.
If someone raped your little sister, hell yeah you'd be pissed and disgusted and wanna murder and torture the dude who did it. I know I would! But it's controlled by our emotions. It makes us feel bad so it's evil now. And yeah, I agree that people should be punished for doing crimes like this. Without emotions we wouldn't be people anymore.
People have a natural curiosity for the "dark side". That's why "evil" deeds are always in the news, and people soak it all up. What each individual does with that information depends. Some people get disgusted, some people get afraid, some people decide they want to commit an "evil" deed of their own for whatever reason. Nobody is "evil". Evil is an idea created by people. Actions can be perceived as good or evil by others...but really, people need to mind their own damn business unless these actions relate to them in any way.
