   There's this "amateur philosophy" group around here, it sounds really cringy and it is (although not as bad as it sounds, most the people have formal training at some level) but it's fun and I enjoy it, mostly it works as an impetus to keep reading in the field now that I'm out of school. Anyway, last week's paper was The Reason to Be Angry Forever and it made me think of you. I intend it as neither a compliment nor an insult, but take it however you want. It's actually a passable argument, I don't don't think Callard can really claim it's a full account of the emotional states he discusses but the points generally don't require that much. The style is kind grating if you're used to reading more conventional writers but again, entirely forgivable.
   
   So yeah

   I'll read it after posting in the other threads. Let's all hope it doesn't piss me off.

   Do I seem to be always angry?
   
   I'm honestly sorry for that.

   I had to skip most of it because why the fuck is he argueing the rationality of anger itself?
   
   He explains it with the perception of the gap and if that perception is indeed true your anger is rational. There you go. He could have stopped there.
   
   Perception is reality. If your perception aligns with reality..... Haha.
   
   
   Yea, I dunno. I think I agree with him but I'd rather not.
