People who categorize Gates as either wanting to help or sinister ~to a cartoon are the kinds of people who fall to manipulation. Even Hitler didn& #39;t think he was evil. They can& #39;t tell the difference, ~an abuser who rationalizes the abuse, & the abused who rationalizes it& #39;s love.

2/When people do "evil," they generally either don& #39;t know it or are only vaguely aware of it. It& #39;s only to children that evil manifests as Rita Repulsa, Dr. Doom, or Skeletor. In most, their "evil" is unrecognizable to them as such. Goodness requires that self-recognition.

3/For that same reason, truthfulness comes from learning to recognize when you& #39;re lying to yourself, distorting reality to fit narratives you hope for--various forms of self-deception. In a willingness to draw out a lie from vague self-awareness, you& #39;re truthful in the admission.
