Yes. Nobody chooses evil as such. It is a (mis) perceived good that we choose. It's not to say , "Well he didn't realize what he was doing, there, there, poor, dear." We SHOULD know, for example, that it's gonna take an AWFUL lot of chocolate to make up for having to buy the new clothes the chocolate will require us to buy.
Even when we talk about 'mens rea' I guess the actual 'mens' is "Law? Who cares about the law? It's just hell toodling along AT 75 mph when this porsche can do 115." The fun or convenience of the speed is overvalued and the law is despised. That's culpable.
I think.
OTOH, you get people premeditadedly flying airplanes into buildings.
Yes, there is a failure to choose good over evil, but there is also the choice to do evil in that.
