      I know what they meant. I just disagree. Some people are just inherently fucked and intervention won’t always work. There are bad seeds out there unfortunately and ignoring this fact with wishful thinking won’t make it to away.

              I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, I just think it’s naive to think that early intervention is the magic bullet in all cases.

              It’s like saying all paedophiles can be reformed.

              If you can point to concrete empirical evidence that proves this, I would like to see it. I’ve not seen or heard of any myself.

                  Well going back to your question, you asked whether people are born evil. The question was framed incorrectly. Which is why I responded with some people really are born with certain disposition.

                  You believe this can be overridden in all circumstances. I do not. You can try but it’s very dangerous to believe without a doubt this is true.
