1. it might interest you how an SP comes about. He's already got enough overts to deserve more motivators than you can shake a stick at. He has done something to dish one and all in. He's been a bad boy. Now the reason he got to be a bad boy was by switching valences. He had a bad boy over there and he then, in some peculiar way, got into that bad boy's valence. Now he knows what he is-he's a bad boy. Man is basically good but he mocks-up evil valences and then gets into them. He says the other fellow is bad. The other fellow was bad. And eventually he got this pasted-up other fellow and one day he becomes the other fellow, see, in a valence shift or personalitywhole, complete package of personality. And there he is. So now he is an evil fellow. He knows how he is supposed to act. He is supposed to act like the other fellow. That's the switcherroo. That's how evil comes into being. The religionists have been having a hard time trying to solve what evil was and that is what evil is. It is the declaration or postulate that evil can exist. In the absence of postulates and declaration of such, man is good. (SH Spec 73, 6608CO2)

2. that which inhibits or brings plus or minus randomity into the organism, which is contrary to the survival motives of the organism. (Scn 0-8, p. 92)

3. may be classified as those things which tend to limit the dynamic thrust of the individual, his family, his group, his race, or life in general in the dynamic drive, also limited by the observation, the observer and his ability to observe. (DTOT, pp. 20-21)

4. evil is the opposite of good, and is anything which is destructive more than it is constructive along any of the various dynamics. A thing which does more destruction than construction is evil from the viewpoint of the individual, the future, group, species, life, or mest that it destroys. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 34)
