What I don't get is, so much of what is online is designed to make you angry and scared because that captures the most engagement. Are people just comfortable feeling that way? It seems way more stressful than living a mostly offline life and enjoying conversations with real people. I don't understand why people do it to themselves.
I think for older folks at least it has to do with the chemicals they were exposed to. I’ve met countless men in their 50s who really are just angry all the time and permanently on a hair trigger. Then they fondly talk about the good old days when trucks would gas their blocks with pesticides and they’d chase after them as kids. You also can’t discount the amount lead they were exposed to which is known to make people more aggressive.
they only ever known to express anger.
Anger's the only passion they get to experience
