Why do some people commit evil for its own sake?

Because they have deformed bodies.

What's worse is the false good ones who know they're pathetic and not really doing anything but block true good people from gaining reach in the world.

True Evil? Has no reason, but has understanding. In the end, it always asks the same question. "Why?"
Just to wind up another brick in the wall.

True Good? Has both reason and understanding.

they dont know better, i would assume.
animated by demons and the devil?
maybe trying to excercise their free will?
if good and evil are understood as two extremes on a spectrum, they are just doing something that is less good and more evil

>>40787055 (OP)
why do trolls troll
they lack dopamine the reward chemical one receives from accomplishing goals
trolling tricks the brain into thinking its taking action against threats
when in actuality the trolll is creating false threats through provocation to get high off attacking them in a safe environment where everything is controlled
this can be taken further with people who feel rewarded for doing evil it is accomplishing there goals wether that be getting laid paid or taking revenge or just being violent for the high of it

>>40787055 (OP)
It is their nature.

>>40787518
its in everyone's nature to be selfish such is self preservation
some cant rise above this though
especially those who where born lacking empathy
or have had it buckbroken out of them

allot of people on 4chan are just buckbroken spirits trying to buckbreak other spirits to make them in there own image like chomos

>>40787443
but thats not how dopamine works...its not a reward chemical for accomplishing goals at all....

>>40787055 (OP)
otherwise there'd be no friction

>>40787563
thats exactlty how dopemine functions and why we have it
with all the resources of the world at your fingertips and literal hand holders called ai to help you out why not do some research before just believing bullshit or making shit up
dont be a retarded in the age of knowledge
"What is dopamine's function?
It plays a role as a “reward center” and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more. High or low dopamine levels are associated with diseases including Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)."

inb4 i get some extreme psued googled response like dopamine is just a neuromodulatory molecule which would be like me saying math is just numbers

>>40787670
yeah but it has nothing to do accomplished goals at all.
matter of fact, it is not fully understood yet
and also it gets released when a prediction turns out correct. maybe thats what you mean with reward?
thats why it is envolved in thrill-seeking behavior like gambling and not in cleaning your room or doing your laundry.

>>40787055 (OP)

>>40787726
>yeah but it has nothing to do accomplished goals at all.
anon your problem is youre either stupid or disingenuous probably both
i bet youre a troll addicted to trolling because you lack the hobbies structures and friends that would other wise fill the dopamine hole you abuse with your trolling like a whore with extra large dildos and extreme pron
>in thrill-seeking behavior like gambling and not in cleaning your room or doing your laundry.
"What is Dopamine?
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter—essentially a chemical messenger in the brain. It:
Regulates motivation and drive (“wanting” more than “liking”)
Reinforces habits by signaling that an action is worth repeating
Influences mood, focus, and attention
How Dopamine Relates to Your Activities
1 Going Outside / Nature
Sunlight exposure increases dopamine production by stimulating the retina and regulating circadian rhythms.
Natural scenery (trees, water, open sky) reduces stress, which indirectly improves dopamine signaling.
Movement and sensory input (wind, birds, smells) engage the brain in novel ways, keeping it “reward-tuned.”
2 Accomplishing Goals
Dopamine is released in anticipation of reaching a goal and again when it's achieved.
Even small wins—checking a box, finishing a task—provide a dopamine hit.
Long-term goals stretch this system, building delayed gratification pathways, increasing resilience.
2 Doing Chores
While not inherently pleasurable, chores give a sense of order, control, and completion.
Dopamine is released when you finish tasks and restore environments—similar to solving puzzles.
Turning chores into a gamified or rhythmic habit can train dopamine to respond to them positively.

>>40787726
>>40787844
3 Hobbies
Hobbies provide novelty, creativity, mastery—each of which boosts dopamine.
Anticipating doing something enjoyable (like art, music, gaming, tinkering) releases dopamine even before the activity begins.
Consistent engagement can form a dopamine feedback loop: "I enjoyed that I want to do it again."
4Friendships / Social Connection
Social bonding and meaningful interactions release dopamine (and also oxytocin).
Anticipating a positive interaction with others—joking, sharing, feeling seen—triggers dopamine release.
Loneliness or rejection can cause dopamine deficits—even physical symptoms of withdrawal.
5 Exercise
Physical activity increases dopamine release and receptor sensitivity over time.
Especially activities with rhythm, progress, or challenge (e.g., running, weightlifting, dancing).
Regular exercise enhances baseline dopamine function—so your system becomes more responsive overall.
Balancing Dopamine
Too much artificial dopamine (e.g., through constant social media, sugar, porn, or drug use) can desensitize the system—making natural activities feel dull.
But engaging in low-intensity, real-world dopamine activities (like the ones you listed) helps restore balance, build motivation, and regulate your mood."

nice, but i knew it because i read a book, your source is a chatbot also you insulted me, which is an admission of defeat

Because.

Their intentions are misunderstood or tangled up in somebody else's ego.

Because it's extremely fun

Domino effect. A person gets treated unfairly and they want to do it to someone else to feel better. It's possible to stop the chain reaction, but not everyone considers that.

Hate begets hate, violence begets violence.

See these two? Not True Evil. Why? They derive pleasure from it. Merely by allowing themselves to "feel good" they have become something "good" albeit selfish. Real Evil, kills even emotion. Just a void.

This is why The Penumberate is so fucking dangerous. Basically everything he does is just a false emotion. It pretends, even to feel joy, just to drag things further and further into the hole. Like a machine. Chicken nugget mincer, but for humans. It pretends to get hurt, and pretends to take damage, pretends to laugh at your jokes, but really, it feels nothing. And worse, you can never really tell if it's the "unreal" thing.

The Grand Void.

Rational self-interest isn't the same thing as evil for its own sake.

>>40788193
all evil is an act of self interest its own sake is pleasure
im sure youll get pleasure for trying to prolong this dumb conversation

>>40788219
i believe anon means
>butchering animals for food
rational self-interest
>killing animals without intent of self-defense/food/health concerns
mentally ill

>>40788239
you think animals dont hunt for play and sport
have you never owned a cat

you people really need to go outside

>>40788266
>play = sports = practice

>>40788290
yes creating fake fights online is a form of fake practice to hown your fake skills against fights becuase you live online and are apart of unatural cult behaviour of your own culture made from others culture but you still have those natural mechanism built in you that get hijacked and abused by you and the systems you take part in

>>40788290
>>40788386
this goes back to cats killing for fun and sport because that practice no longer goes anywhere
my cat kills bugs and rats all the time but never eats them cause shes fed on kibble and prefers kibble like you prefer your goy slop over having to go our hunt kill prep cook clean ect
like you dont like real fights irl cause you no longer require them to survive and they hurt but you still have the desire to fight within you so you abuse these systems within to ultimately self harm and become a worse person instead of better
fighting online doesnt get you shit
fighting irl get you pussy money and land

>>40788397
fighting irl gets your body destroyed for good, so you are forced to retire because you became a cripple after a dozen fights.
humans didnt use to fight for most of their evolution, they used to cooperate to survive.
play is nonetheless practicing skills.
a housecat might or might not do it, thats beside the point.
zoo animals usually dont hunt, but they do get increasingly unhappy when they have no stimulus, since hunting is what they do.
