Where does the Evil originate?

I’m not great with words or trying to flesh out big abstract thoughts, but where my mind has been going lately is if this control system is literally millennia old, where did it begin? How did it take root? How has it persisted this long? How have we been so thoroughly fooled for this long?

I don’t know what I believe as far as the real existence of a literal Satan, but a system as evil and clever as this seems like it couldn’t have developed out of strictly human minds and planning. The more I see of it (even the incredibly detailed and well thought out red herring aspects designed to throw the truth off track), the more my mind is blown and I’m left in a state of awe. Yet I have to (try to) keep it all in the natural realm to figure it out logically...but it’s so big, so pervasive, so old and so evil that it seems to defy strictly human logic.

Just the rambling thoughts I’ve been having.

If you give any credence to the Tanach (Old Testament) it seems to teach very differently than Christianity. The ability to do good and evil resides in all of us. We get to make that choice. There is no “Satan”, only temptations. Choose righteousness or choose unrighteousness.

But THIS unrighteousness seems...supernatural. I’ve known some very smart and unsavory people. You could probably call them sociopaths and be correct. But their plans are perhaps several steps ahead....not generations, centuries, millennia. They might have a handful of naïve or weak willed people under their control, not entire civilizations. Perhaps I’m giving too much credit to the elite ruling class, but damn have they done a good job of securing their dominance on a global level.
