Word of the Day- degenerate

[threadwalker]

I was interested in this in its use as a noun.

"A depraved, corrupt, or vicious person."

it implies an orignial, blameless, higher state that one can fall or degenerate from, and yet it might be used to describe someone on first sight

We all have a history, and some fall further than others; however, most recognize that what makes a person now, is comprised of their past motivations, decisions and actions. How else would one be able to calculate human behavior on an individual level for one's own purposes...
