Many systems are emergently evil, not intrinsically evil.

There are very few individual grains of intrinsic evil within it.

But systems that have few grains of intrinsic evil can still produce massively emergently evil outcomes.

People who can't see emergence will say "look, there's very few grains of evil in it, so the outcome can't be evil."

That's wrong!

Emergence is a thing.

A system that is emergently evil is evil.

The question is: what is the net effect on society?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Every incremental step every person takes is almost entirely reasonable, but the emergent result can be a totally different character.
