For the love of hate: Why is good to hate?

For the love of hate

Loving and helping others is the greatest source of joy. Hating is a close second. When we love and help others, our primate brains reward us with a pleasant neuro cocktail that we interpret as joy. Evolutionary, the reason is expected reciprocity. Our brains unconsciously believe that if we help others survive, they will help us survive in return. Tell a monkey brain that it will survive, and you tap into joy. Hating is quite joyful too. Evolutionary, the reason is that hating your enemies also helps you survive. Again, tell a monkey brain that it will survive, and you tap into joy.

What would Jesus do?

Jesus negated the power of hate. He was crucified. Endorsing a pacifist agenda at all cost is cost prohibitive for survival. There are dangerous humans like Hitler and Putin that become a menace to humanity. They must be hated enough to protect everyone else. Hating gives us the courage to stop them. 

Hating our enemies is a survival strategy. Say that you are given the opportunity to kill Putin by just pressing a button. If you love the guy or his humanity, you will not press the button.  If you hate him enough, you would press the button. Hate is the inverse force of love and from an evolutionary standpoint can be as vital as love.     

Hating is fun

Humans love hating. Culture has taught us to pretend that we do not enjoy hating others. However, with so many haters around, evidence shows that hate is a rampant part of human nature. Hating is heavily favored by evolution and natural selection.  Haters survive and their hate predisposition survives forward.  

Hating is energizing. Hating is part of human nature and serves a valid evolutionary purpose.  Think for example about hating Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. It's fun to hate them. We are sick--full of envy--of all these tech billionaires who think that they are better than anyone else. It's fun to keep them on check with our collective hate.  

Hating is useful

Think about hating Trump and Putin. It's useful to hate Trump so that we can save America from becoming a dictatorship. It's an patriotic Americans duty to hate Trump and the extreme followers who would look to repeat the January 6th coup. It's useful to hate all extremes (left and right) to protect a balanced democracy.  

It's better to have old Joe with all his senile defects than having Trump with all his third world country dictatorial effects. When it comes to a foreign enemy like Vladimir Genocide Putin, hate is also our best option. Loving Putin can get us all killed.  Putin is becoming the new Hitler. Hating Putin is useful to save America from him and from his protege, Donald Trump. 

Control hate

Don't be afraid of your monkey nature. Embrace it with self-control and discipline. Denial is not the solution. Temperance is the solution. Treasure and respect your power of hate as much as you treasure your power to love.  

Hate is a powerful emotion that can save the world. Keep it under control at all times.  By recognizing the power of hate and our animal nature, we stand a better chance at controlling ourselves. It is when you believe that you are a god, that you can become a demon. 

Be kind to yourself and others. Be happy and proud that evolution equipped you with the nuclear power of hate. Regulate it and control it at all times so that it does contaminate your brain and does not blow up on you. Keep hate as the nuclear deterrent in your survival arsenal. 

Does that make sense?

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...

Fortunately, the human response to the pandemic brought significant scientific, technological, and social progress that should flourish in the years to come. The response to COVID19 also brought high inflation, which brings many opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs. Chances are that the world is already a better place thanks to COVID19. What do you think?  Slap is food for though. Take more at TakeSlap.com A blessing in disguise. For many Americans, the COVID19 pandemic has been a blessing in disguise. Three main improvements that we can think of are: mRNA vaccines; remote work technology; and Trump out of the White House. A major opportunity going forward is dealing with inflation, which may end very soon with the upcoming recession. COVID19 accelerated the production of mRNA vaccines.  This revolutionary medical techn...
