I really just see natural language as a means by which one neocortex communicates rather directly with another. The term "evil" is a predicate which someone uses to really warn someone off of a person, place, time, action, or other neocortical thing which can be anything. "Evil" as a deceit is interesting as "deceitfully evil". Which has two ways you can take it. In terms of God as nature it is a pretty human friendly term that makes God look like a pretty good guy.

Just say'n.

Now, lies can be truly good or evil and they directly reveal something important about the brain works with truth and lies. "Evil" is just a word that is important but not particularly important to revealing how the neocortex stores information and computes about it. Fiat lies are particularly evil in their potential to kill us all...https://medium.com/liecatcher/https-medium-com-rhtcmu-fiat-lies-are-genocide-on-the-human-race-a4d76b093530?source=friends_link&sk=def42b91e45b457ef3abc64ab440c8ae

I imagine I just fall into some philosophical category. I was thinking about "evil" the last few days and your article was very helpful in trying to see whether I should care about the word. A much more important word, I think, is "confute" which is kind of neutral on "evil". All words, particularly those that are linguistically universal, like "evil," are of course very important in thinking about semantic nativism in the neocortex.
