No problem, to summarize the video it presents that evil is all about the brain and there may be ways to modify the brain so as to exclude such behavior.
Methodologies offered include medication and electrical stimulation and in the case of the latter there is an experiment that shows it is possible.

Evil is usually seen as the dualistic opposite of good. Definitions of evil vary, as does the analysis of its root motives and causes; however, evil is commonly associated with conscious and deliberate wrongdoing, discrimination designed to harm others, humiliation of people designed to diminish their psychological well-being and dignity, destructiveness, motives of causing pain or suffering for selfish or malicious intentions, and acts of unnecessary or indiscriminate violence.[1] The philosophical question of whether morality is absolute or relative leads to questions about the nature of evil, with views falling into one of four opposed camps: moral absolutism, amoralism, moral relativism, and moral universalism.

All evil is relative, to the victim, and all goodness, mercy, truth, beauty and justice, the only absolute we can be absolutely certain of via the work of the cross of Jesus Christ (as the willing victim of evil)

While Jesus Christ was a wonderful person his actions were interpreted as a cause for war's by humans.
Literally, billions died horrible deaths because he claimed to be the only means to achieve nirvana and or access to heaven.
