It would depend on your definition of evil. For some people that definition is very opaque and spiritual. For others its pretty objective, and comes down to whether the use is predicated on the corporate entity being a person, or the entity

Quite a number of us have read Adam Smith. You don't draw too much of a distinction, but Moral Philosophy and Economics are two distinct and separable subjects. Comparing them is comparing apples to oranges. The former lies solely with

First, let me start with saying what you are wanting is a bad idea. Parts can be done by using dovecot as the MDA with a backed mysql/mariadb database (where you host your own mailboxes). You will have a number of problems that may or

The video link I provided in my other comment covers the broad strokes in an easy to digest way. For the most part you have this right, but the true scope is at a level that is unthinkable to most people. As bad as you think it might be, it
