I see it as something that tells about how little actual evil (whatever that is) is to be found in humankind.
The implication that people are stupid, however, has no intelligent point of reference.
Stupid compared to what?
You and your friends?
Animals?
Extraterrestrials?
In comparison of how intelligent they should be?
That belief just makes me grateful that people are far from inherently evil, unlike some religions try to teach us.
PS: If you would be a robot, you wouldn't feel ungrateful about that fact.

Evil is banal.
As for the point of reference about stupid people: it refers ofc to the "human" described in any and all books on subscriptive morality, economic rationality and social interaction.
Humans are stupid as a whole, one might be more stupid than another, but in the end, the most intelligent person on earth is still an idiot
Humans are stupid, but some humans are more stupid than others. (second use of this animal farm reference today, but it's such a fun one!)
Edit: Yeah, the answer would be your last one; compared to how smart we think we should be!
I did.

I have thought it over, probably thousands of times... Could I kill...I remember when I was 19, trippin' on angel dust, thinking about what it would feel like to kill a random man. I don't know why but I did and I indulged the fantasy for about five minutes until I got sick to my stomach.
The closest I have come... I was in a rage and my bf tried to stop me from leaving in the car (I had taken about 10 xanax). <-- makes me mean.
He stood in front of the car and I hit the gas but right before I hit him (hard, I just bumped him) I slammed on the brakes and then I broke down. One of my lowest moments. I don't think I could live with myself if I intentionally killed anyone. I know with certainty that I would put myself in front of anyone trying to hurt someone I love, because I have.

Aylen, can you masturbate absurd so I don't have to deal with this?
God it's like I can't have a fucking friendship with Aylen without people hounding the shit out of me.
We're not even together dude.
Me and her are nothing.
You can fuck her. GO ahead and try
Omg, omg. Stop harassing and stalking me. Racism!

Ahh, so after throwing a fit you keep responding. Don't know who is the child around here, but after consulting my vedic horoscope, I think I begin to see things according to the prophecy now.
And I don't care whether you're together or not, I don't even care whether you're alive or not. Thing is, I head a lot about this karma from your behind, and guess what I am like a boomerang.

Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.
Not sure why this is in the Psychology section. Not killing people is basic good manners.

If it's done in self defense or of loved ones against a clear immediate threat, sure. The majority of 'murders' are not well justified.
Most murders are done out of cowardice, IMO. Cowardice (and incapacity) to find a better/real/actual solution to a problem.

meh, on second thought, I don't know if I am even psychologically prepared to sit at this metaphorical table.
