Peter Thiel argues that evil can at least be competent, but Russell Brand isn't buying it. Reacting to Thiel's distinction between being evil and simply being bad at something, Russell questions whether intelligence, innovation and extraordinary achievement mean anything when they're divorced from morality and God's grace. From Ferrari and Faust to Hitler and Jeffrey Epstein, he asks whether modern society has become so impressed by power and success that we've forgotten how to recognize evil—and whether the problems facing humanity are ultimately spiritual rather than political or economic.
