but even that, its fleeting annoyance

so the question is, "why do I hate dark, stupid, violent people living far away from me?"

i.e. they are outside my experience, I cannot even empirically be sure they exist, so why feel anything?

hmm, not quite but

okay

go with that

yeah sure

that makes the point adequately

the answer is simple, because I think about the big picture and the long term, I always have

if all I cared about was me, I'd be another idiot boomer

but the big picture is much bigger than you

i on the other hand, have dark, stupid, violent people living quite near me

you will die very soon

in comparison to its breadth

but the thought that my 4x great grandchildren might have to deal with Jafar or Julio or Nbekemwe infuriates me

I understand wanting to understand it

but why get worked up about it?

you can only do things

because my descendants will have to deal with it and I care about them

make the difference

trust in your blood, fate is fate

you can't account for the future

the fact that people in my family tend to feel like I do IS why we will have a good outcome

and aren't you a believer?

this isn't fear for my future generations, it's an expression of the very trait that will keep them well and safe

I guess I'm just content that things will go a certain way

radical outgroup mistrust and malice

so I can't get worried about anything

that may be it

or that may be a rationalization

what you look at when you see me is something akin to what you see happen in Jews when they consider goyim

I'll figure it out later

that is unhealthy

what happens in them

cannibal, so does that mean you are jewish ?

they don't have to expend energy to think about where historically someone wronged them or who said something about them etc., it just happens

they do expend energy about it though

it doesn't just happen

they are indoctrinated into it

from childhood

what does it matter if you are insanely energetic and have it to spare?
