Reading Humankind by Rutger Bergman, it is obvious how evil is conceivable only through manipulation, deception, indoctrination and brainwashing.
People will conduct evil acts only when disguised as doing good, and when instructed to perform evil acts.
Two well-known researches mentioned in the book, Philip Zimbardo and Stanley Milgram, manipulated subjects to perform certain evil acts, later labeling the acts as 'innate human nature'.
They functioned more effectively as film directors than researchers, as they attained fame through their 'research'.
In reality, people hesitate before performing acts that seem evil, and only when ordered to proceed, do they actually do so.
Humans are innately good. We should leverage that.
