You can be a good person by minimizing being objectively evil. If you can't see things you can't optimize things, which the title suggests, but the content itself is lacking in proper support while not covering certain obvious aspects, not lacking in volume. They were quite mistaken about a number of things. Objectively, evil people (at least in the past) is characterized by a willful blindness to the consequences of said person's evil actions. Evil acts being objectively destructive acts. Altruism and its derivatives as belief systems are evil. They are value systems where a person's worth is only based upon what they give up to others. Under such belief systems, if you aren't selfless, you are evil and have no worth. People use false claims and false justification under these systems, of all sorts, to blind themselves and by extension result in destructive acts towards the ideal of what the system considers good. To be selfless, and impose that on others, eventually to the point of destruction (others), and eventual self-destruction (self). Its all quite wrong. You can't optimize towards truth or beneficial outcomes, if you don't recognize the truth or those outcomes. Generally speaking, there are far more things that you can do that are destructive, than there are those that are beneficial. Its also of primary important to retain an objective grip on reality. Blindness leads to delusion.
