Nobody is born bad; but many become bad through association with evil WRAITHs

A major prong of the Alt-QAnon theory is that the "news" and other output of the intelligentsia -- like books and magazine articles -- focuses far too much on individuals without truly considering the artificially intelligent superorganisms (WRAITHs, for wraith-like artificially intelligent transhuman hives) that enable those individuals to do the damage they do.  Hitler found his wraith in the preexisting National Socialist German Workers' Party back in the early 1920s; if that malignant wraith had not been there, already spinning its message of hatred and blame, and just waiting for a charismatic leader, Hitler would never have come to power. 

Same for the White Supremacist movement in the US today.  That movement dates back to the Ku Klux Klan, and the underlying racist sentiments go back much farther than that.  The individuals that make up the movement are misguided and arguably evil, but they weren't born that way.  Instead, the WRAITH that is White Supremacy capitalized on their sense of insecurity, or feelings of inferiority, or the need for belonging and gave them a role to play in the movement.  The malevolent wraith validates the individuals and uses them for its ends.  That makes them "bad" in our eyes but they weren't born bad.

This might not be my most articulate post, but it reminds me that I had a similar idea a few years back, when I solved the ISIS problem by suggesting that we fund a counter-ISIS, which would address the same needs that ISIS addressed, without all the evil.  To tie that back to evil WRAITHs more generally, the goal should be for society to create benevolent wraiths that satisfy the same needs as the evil ones -- and thus compete for the same members -- so that society benefits and the evil ones wither away and die.

I should hasten to add that here I may be anthropomorphizing wraiths a little more than I like by calling a subset of them evil.  In general, the wraiths themselves are amoral, they just react to their environment in ways that enable them to survive and thrive.  But if their foundational premise is a false or hateful idea, then their actions and reactions will work to further that idea, which causes them to do evil, and justifies calling them that.  

The contrast here is with corporations, whose foundational premise is to maximize shareholder wealth. That amoral premise can cause them to do good -- I'm sure Purdue Pharma invented any number of useful drugs in its time -- but can also cause them to do evil, like promote opioid use.

As I've started to discuss already, the "solution" as to amoral WRAITHS that have beneficial purposes -- like corporations -- is to understand them, and recognize that their very amorality will inevitably lead them to act evilly (since they don't understand what that is, unless it's regulated) if doing so is likely to help the superorganism survive and/or thrive.  For the amoral corporations, laws and the possibility of punishment are simply part of the calculus -- if the probabilities show a net gain with minimal risk of complete annihilation of the amoral self, they will take an evil action.
