I get satisfaction by designing complex systems and being tortured by static type checkers. So political pr0n, video games, or 2D chart p0rn does not do it for me. Don’t expect my motivations to be the same as those listed addictions. In a world covered in smartphone addicts, it’s really hard to imagine someone completely devoid of those addictions.

A rage addict is just someone suffering from a design flaw. I recognize they exist just like trees. A tree producing imperfect fruit does not bug me. The rage addict needs to become capable of weening themselves off the juice. I’m a white hatter. Exploiting system flaws is black hatter. Hope de-assembling nonsense arguments has been helpful.

At one time, thought feeding a rage addict would burn out their rage addiction by having them exhaust themselves. All about coming to the conclusion that it’s not worth the effort. But that assumes they can learn, want to learn, or want to adapt/change permanently.

Rage addicts need to recognize they are being played. Until then it’s just a broken record on a loop.

This works on any negative emotion. It takes heightened energy to sustain. So fight a war of attrition knowing you’ll exhaust your opponent.
