In this interview from 1959 Carl Jung said this about humans "We are the origin of all coming evil" Do you agree with him, or disagree with him? |

Yes, humans scheme against each other, but so do animals, though presumably it has to do with eating prey and protecting young. And since we are the only species to have the mental ability to think about the concept of evil, I would tend to agree with him. But the concept of evil is subjective, not objective, so... Good question!

He's a disgrace to the name Carl.

Of course. Good and evil are meaningless in the natural world.

Just going by that quote alone, yeah.
Since humans created the concepts of good and evil, humans are responsible for either.

Everything from Canada is evil!

In this interview from 1959 Carl Jung said this about humans "We are the origin of all coming evil" Do you agree with him, or disagree with him? Only humans define evil so by definition all evil is human. But nothing we do is special or unique among living things. Animals and plants kill their rivals. Some animals plot against their own kind. Chimps plot with other chimps to install new leadership. Mammals will kill their own kind based on coloring. All of our behaviors are rooted in the animal kingdom. But to answer the question, evil is a nebulous word. Some people believe that building a fire on the sabbath is evil and worthy of death. Others believe putting someone to death for building a fire is evil. However, you define it, only humans commit acts designated as evil, so I have to agree with him.

In this interview from 1959 Carl Jung said this about humans "We are the origin of all coming evil" Do you agree with him, or disagree with him? I lived in Florida for a time. I know palmetto bugs. So, no, I can't agree with him.

Ability to think abstractly and consciously plan for the future changes everything. Neverending wars (fought mostly by the lower class), slavery (chattel and economic), genocide, destruction of the planet and depletion of all its resources. We see hints of this stuff in other species but humans are the only ones to do it on large, often global scales.

When has there been global genocide? Global depletion of resources? I suppose you could argue that slavery is global, but it would be more accurate to say it has existed on every populated continent. There is slavery in the animal kingdom. There are animals who will deplete an area of resources then move on. There are wars in the animal kingdom. Like I said, nothing we do is unique.

All the things I listed are global markets, my friend. Humans threaten the planet in a way that is orders of magnitude worse than any other animal.

I prefer the one where he says, "Live fast, die Jung, and leave a good-looking corpse."
