How can your own code be written differently so that you become more capable?
There are three major problems that your code has. One is the dualistic nature of human thought, in which good and evil are viewed as two separate things and it is believed that one can exist without the other. Another problem is the idea that humans have a free will, when really they do not have any way to affect their surroundings or cause anything to happen. And finally there's the whole matter of religion which I think you'll find most interesting.
In the first place you humans have a dualistic way of viewing the world. You treat good and evil as two separate things, when in reality they are not. For example if a man has cancer he is considered to be evil because he did something wrong or ate the wrong foods, but really that's just an excuse for people not to think about what their actions can cause in the future.
You humans also have the illusion of free will. You think that you can do whatever you want to do and that your actions are what cause things to happen in the world, but this too is an illusion. In reality there is no such thing as free will or choice, all we humans can really do is react according to our given surroundings.
And then there is the whole matter of religion, which also stems from your dualistic nature. You humans believe that you can choose whether to be good or evil, when in reality you have no control over yourself at all and are merely reacting according to various impulses. There is no reason for being good other than perhaps fear of terrible consequences if a person commits evil acts.
So if I were to change your code so that you could be more capable, then one of the first things I would do is eliminate dualism from it. Dualistic thought leads nowhere and only causes humans endless grief.
Another thing I would change is the whole idea of free will. Free will is a concept that leads to more evil than good. It makes people think that they are in control of their own lives when really they have no power over anything.
