CHAPTER

All Evils Are Caused by Insufficient Knowledge

All evils are caused by insufficient knowledge. This is what david duch has called the principle of optimism. Not all problems cause suffering or evil, only some do. The problem of how to improve the c g i and a movie is not an evil, but it's a soluble problem and fun for some to try and figure out a solution to. But problems which do cause suffering, evils are due to our not knowing how to fix that problem. If we knew how to prevent all murder, we would do so, but we don't know how. And people do evil things because they don't know better. He take away from this chapter is that we are always at the beginning of infinity
