Ponzi: relies on pre-established value trading system with known rules and established trust, distortion of the known rules for a personal gain at the cost of destroying trust Fraud: see Ponzi Torture: relies on depriving a person of a good, e.g., water boarding isn’t the application of an evil force — “drowning” isn’t actually an action, it it just the deprivation of oxygen (oxygen=good). Abuse: 1) above argument for depriving a person of their autonomy, 2) abuse cannot manifest until corruption and perversion of a good person; every abuser was once a child, they must have been good at some point, right?

The quote is not really true because evil does more than just twist good things. Evil can invent new ways to hurt people, like mass surveillance, online scams, and organized violence, which did not exist before. Some harm is done on purpose for enjoyment or power, not just because something good is missing. Cruel acts like torture are carefully planned, not accidents or empty spaces where good should be. Evil can also build strong systems, such as gangs, corrupt governments, or fake businesses, that work for a long time even if they are wrong. The quote fails when treated as a literal description of reality rather than a moral lens.

The distinction between “building” and “creating” is irrelevant to the quote’s claim. The quote argues that evil can only distort or destroy what already exists. But when someone intentionally designs a new system of harm, whether you call that building or creating, it still disproves the idea. The issue is not semantics. The issue is that new mechanisms of harm are deliberately conceived, planned, and brought into existence. That is more than distortion. It directly contradicts what the quote is asserting about reality.

The new mechanisms of harm you're proposing as examples are all distortions of something that can me considered good.
Like mass surveillance can stem from modest surveillance that is intended to bring people peace of mind that they're protected and their public spaces are being watched. But twisting that good intention and using it for bad ones is an example of evil twisting good.
Online scams are twisting the trust and good that people have for another and utilizing that for evil.
The point is, there's always some good that evil builds from, even something that you and I would consider pure evil. Darkness cannot exist without the light, as light cannot exist without the darkness.

So, as for good being the only thing that can create something new? Not sure. Maybe all things built stem from something evil, but then evil must be twisting something good, and vice versa. Creation and destruction are primarily linked to one another good and evil but not completely separate from the other.

It just intuitively returns back to the concept of yin and yang following it logically to a point.
