Like I said, I don’t think you’re evil. I think you espoused an evil position or preference, which may well contradict other and more real preferences. I think you’re looking at a ridiculously small sliver of the real world and using that to conclude that the status quo is fine. (Or you’re pattern-matching wildly, which has now grown in probability.)
If I haven’t already said enough, then it looks like one of the following holds:
You have effectively no empathy and I don’t want you to model me accurately.
You share my basic goals, but believe we can’t do much better at achieving them. Your earlier strawman really indicated that you see us as foolish dreamers.
Either way, further talk of morality seems counter-productive.
The difference between “evil” and “immoral within ” is that evil must be fought with and eradicated, if necessary without taking prisoners and leaving scorched earth behind. Now, “immoral”, that we can talk about, is it cool and sexy?

Now that you’ve brought this word into the conversation, would you care to define “evil”?
No I would not.
I think you meant to link to this page, but I’m still not sure how either relates to the question.
Maybe we can taboo ‘evil’ and replace it with something like “immoral within ′ to get a firmer sense of your specific objection.
