    It took me years, but I figured out that some art is created from the worldview that people are evil. My worldview is that people are good.

I have gone through both swings of that pendulum. I'm on the "All people have the inherent ability to do good, but need a push and a few small reminders now and then" part of my life now. I bring this up because your comment is interesting. If you assume all people are good, how do you explain people who are not? Maybe not evil as that word has a lot of loaded baggage associated with it, so maybe more malevolent? That may be the better word.

I have never seen Seinfeld. Is it worth looking up a show or two?
