It is demonstrably not the case that it is easier to make money through evil than good, at least historically; the world we live in now is quite nice compared to the past, and that's the result of selfish people following incentives. If incentives were aligned with evil, we would expect to live in an evil world, and we do not.

There is evil around every corner for sure, but it is outweighed by the good. Sure there are incentives for scummy business practices that add a bit of evil on the margin, but do you really think most companies are a net negative? That that marginal evil isn't outweighed by the vast good and wealth that is created as well?

The question you should have asked is "Why do i think incentives align with evil?", and the answer is "Because you take the good for granted and thereby fail to notice it."

We're on the Internet. Show me some evil that outweighs the awesomeness of that.
