Are we Dr Evil??

I've been wanting to write that title, and make this post for some months now.

I will confess I am very interested in "Morality" and the parts that both Good and Evil impulses, actions and thinking has played in my life, and yours...

I was struck at how the simple Dr Evil characters as played in childrens cartoons & comedy (both areas of public communictaions where the sophistication is stripped away, and communication deliberately made understandable were always "misunderstood and bullied" and their great Evil was simple striking out at those who had offended and marginalised them. 

I was struck by how my childhood followed that particular paradigm very well indeed, until one day in my early twenties a particularly strong reefer taught (or reminded me) me that I needed to treat others as I would like to have been treated and not as they tended to treat me. 

I still however am quite annoyed about many things, and in my own areas of competencies quite inclined to be autocratic, so I genuinely did wonder, do the Adolf Hitlers and other great evil people have a streak of what I have? I've had to make quiet an effort not to be a complete "goit"* on many an occasion...  (* H/T to Arnold Rimmer)

Is this a real general tendancy in Autiistic behaviour, and could it be why the NT's (as a rule) make damn sure we never get into positions of power?

    There are two types of human beings. Good ones and bad ones. The earthly mission of bad humans is to find good ones and turn them bad. This is how they survive and thrive. Some are conscious of their badness, most are not. The mission of good humans is to realise they are good (despite the attempts of bad ones to convince them otherwise). Everything in creation is scenery, the backdrop against which this cosmic theatrical performance plays out.
