The devil suffers from severe depression as he sees his power on earth vanish. Humanity is bad even without his influence. So what can he do? Three of his henchmen bring him recovery through three ideas of how evil can gain new power over people. The idealism , the pragmatism and " psychologism ". These three theories are the starting point for the sneaky bad in modern human views.
