Ask HN: Where does the evil go?

Today's world seems peaceful and kind, however, where does the evil in humankind go? I am just curious, anyone pondering on the same question?

It's spread across networks in which responsible individuals aren't necessarily lying when they say they didn't cause it.

Interesting explanation, so the evil has changed its form in different times and environments? Do you have any recommended books for understanding the current world, like the Capital by Carl Marx in 1880s?

capitalist realism by mark fisher, the divided self by r.d. laing, and absolute recoil by slavoj zizek, i suppose

Maybe some of the evil wasn't inherent to humanity. Consider the lead hypothesis for example.

What is the lead hypothesis? Could the evil really be eliminated in humanity?

I have read about lead hypothesis, it's eye-opening, thanks.
