When you lose the war you are "evil" because everybody knows that the good guys win. If the Germans had won Roosevelt would be "evil" and Le May would have been charged at the Hague.

So are you saying Mathematics and Tinkerbell are real?

Depends on what you mean by "exists". Sure the Peter Pan BOOK exists and
is a real thing but are the ideas in the book real? Ever see a "point"?
A line? Something "infinite" (human stupidity doesn't count).
The only "existence" any of these things have is some certain
arrangement of bits in synapses in the brain. So if Tinkerbell exists
and is real then evil exists and is real. Otherwise, evil doesn't really
exist. Just various deeds do.
Interestingly since all possible arrangements of bits in the brain can
potentially exist, then it's clear that anything one can think of is
potentially real.

Is there a common source for all fiction? Like, where did the author get it? Jimbo -- http://www.olypen.com/gerrit/index.php

For most of us, it's just the impulse that motivates us to watch Godzilla stomp on Tokyo, or King Kong climb skyscrapers. Our secret appetite for destruction. It's the midbrain kicking back against the oppression of the neocortex. It's Fenris struggling against Glipnir. And when the cord is cut, for example if you invest your ethical restraint in a religion, and the religion tells you to kill. If propaganda breaks it by telling you that a class of people are a subhuman menace, then look out. None of us can be confident that we'd resist. The difference between Evil and mere evil is that the latter is just some selfish action which causes you harm. The former, however, is when people do stuff _because_ they know its wrong. They don't need to draw advantage from it.

It is nothing more than a random gamma ray burst that's had too much

I have never experienced...boredom. It's alien to me. So, when I hear a person tell me "they are bored", I'm a little not understanding of it... then, observation shows me.. only boring people get bored. You Alan Baker are a boring person. That is why you see bordom through your eyes...you're boring. I bet I can stare at a clock longer than you...
