[A. Pole]

When good and evil reach a "consensus" position, evil has always triumphed and good has always been defeated.

Evil needs good to exists as evil is a perversion and curtailment of good. Evil does not exist on its own, it is parasitic and reactive.

"Evil does not exist on its own"

Oh, yes it does, and it is malign and intelligent. More intelligent than we are.

"Evil does not exist on its own, it is parasitic and reactive."

I disagree, Evil is the absence of Good; much like Darkness is the absence of Light, or Cold the absence of Heat
