"Cannot" means you negate the comparative. So "cannot be more bad than good" just becomes "more good."
C: Generally, people have more good than bad intentions.
P: If we thought/believed that everyone had more bad than good intentions, then there would be no trust. And if society can survive, then there has to be trust. [Contra: no trust --> no chance for society]
In other words...
if we thought people more often want to screw us over --> no trust --> no chance for society to survive
Therefore, people have more good than bad intentions
Belief/thoughts vs. actual flaw. The flaw is the truth of the transitive chain. What if our thoughts can become a reality?
