'Good' and 'evil' vary. They're not definite.
Perspectives differ from one another; we will never live in a world where people follow one main concept of what's 'good' and what's 'evil,' fr these things are interchangeable.

True. Al Queda (or however the hell you spell their name) believed it was 'good' to fly planes into the WTC. In our views, it was evil.

If there was no evil there just wouldnt be any refrence to determine what good was. It just would be. So no, "good" in a sense wouldnt exist.

You can't really say that good and evil does not exist. They do, but there is no outline for it except for those that we set for ourselves. It is only the way we percieve things that determine good and bad. To say there is no more bad in a world would say that everyone thinks the same and that would be a really bleak world.

Which is all derived of agency. People have different perspectives and concepts of agency but they can all pretty much feel what is good and evil. That mainly came from the tree of knowledge in the garden of eden, before eating from it adam and eve were CONTENT not necessarily happy or sad. The way i see it, if you were to take away one of the sides (which is shown to be nearly impossible) then you would have to do it by losing your sense of perception basically making you oblivious to everything and also very ignorant. It would be like acheiving nirvana. However, all of this is irrelevant because it is impossible for us to change what has happened to give us our feelings on whether things are good or not, and if we didnt have those feelings we wouldnt be talking about it.
