Celia Labonte, Kristen Aikuda, Scott Sheldon, Evan Munro, and some random frog want to know, do other animals have concepts like evil?

Celia asked, is there a way to measure evil in animals?

Thinking about dolphins specifically.

And Kristen's daughter, Amelia, wants to know why certain animals are perceived as evil, like her black cat.

So do you think animals ever think about like, that's a good antelope?

That's a bad one.

That guy's a dick.

Do you think that even comes into their minds?

Well, Stacey Pinkowitz, first-time question asker, wants to know, can you speak on the connection between the concept of evil and the role of language?

Do you think that it's really just when we have enough words to look into this, we really start to try to classify things almost too much?

You know, Jasmine Liu wants to know, do all cultures associate evil with female identifying individuals?

Do women tend to get categorized that way for some reason?

Or do you find that in your reading and your research?

So we'll link Willie Braun's guide to the study of religion on our website, which is linked in the show notes.

Well, I'm wondering, Katie Murray, and maybe this is also making me think about women being seen as equal, even going back to apples and gardens and stuff.

But Katie Murray wants to know, why is evil so often linked with genius?

But why is evil linked with genius?

That's true.

At least before we had brain scans and like doctors.
