The Visceral Emotional Dimension of Trump's Appeal to Rationality

I think there's something fundamentally exhilarating about open irrationality that is at the core of fascism more broadly. In a way this takes us back to climate change I do think that in the present moment indulging ones you know aggression or violence can feel really satisfying and can feel kind of just good feel nice but of course the question is like what are the long-term consequences of that both for you and for the society that you live in. There's this Buddhist sort of mantra that one chance to others like may you be happy may you be safe may you be free from suffering and trying to catch myself when I'm in those particularly dark resentful moods has been an interesting exercise.
