Also, noted, S, that you have to be that guy calling people with different opinions and diverse ways of going about life and dealing with emotions (that needn't result to "hatred"), on a discussion forum for philosophy "delusional" ... what a way to be. — Swan
Yeah, sorry. Some people genuinely have other things to do than feel intense hatred for foreign objects, TV shows and random people they don't even know. If you seriously hate television I suggest getting some therapy; it's only a matter of time before a heart attack via stress takes you, and to be honest, it's not worth it going out over a TV show. — Swan
It's the same situation as staring at a mirror on the wall and asking over and over, who is the most brilliant of all. It's pointless. — uncanni
Confusing "disgust" and "hatred" is a common thing; doesn't require a "novel" answer, and pretty sure none of my answers have been "novel". — Swan
But since you're the one trying to add complexity to where there isn't any, it's quite evident you're projecting on my answers.
Whatever floats your boat, bud. — Swan
I'm not confusing disgust and hatred. If I had meant disgust, then I would have used that word instead. — S
the simple common sense fact is that everyone has hated at one time or another, except, like, babies and some severely disabled people, and it's very unlikely that you fall under that category. Although... — S
I posit that there are no meaningful distinctions between "hate" and "disgust" via your usage of the words (and the cultural usage of the words); and the attempt to make it seem so is "novel" just for that fact alone. — Swan
In a good way, though. Right? — S
I wonder what Elie Wiesel would tell us the opposite of hate is. — JosephS
All our emotions are knuckle-dragging ape like things. We're social mammals, primates.There is nothing complex about anger or rage. It's the most primitive knuckle-dragging ape-like thing there is — Swan
Just like the other emotions hatred is not a philosophical thing, but given that we have our limibic systems enmeshed with other parts of our minds our emotions are involved with and affected by all sorts of things.Trying to gloss up random hatred as some complex philosophical preponderance of thought is just complicated what it is. — Swan
I really don't think this is true. Most people who are behind bars turned their hatred or some other motivating drive into ACTIONS that society deemed inapporpriate or wrong. Prisoners are much more likely to be people who cannot feel anger without acting it out with violence. But most people feel hatred. They just don't act it out. They may judge the emotion and do all they can to suppress it. Some of these people are passive-aggressive. It is also perfectly normal to hate that which expresses hatred at you, especially if it is not grounded fairly in what you have done, or when violence or extreme disrespect is aimed at you. Or even things like social backstabbing, ongoing disrespect - often bosses are hated, in part because there is no good way for the person disrespected to easily extricate themselves from the dynamic - abuse of power, or when people mistreat people we love. We can also hate organizations or patterns in societyMost people that genuinely feel hatred are behind bars for crimes of passion, — Swan
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
