This is a good take. A lot of truth in here, and also somewhat comforting to see that human nature transcends culture: the same or similar types of misanthropes are found in America as in other places.
Peter, my wise, wise friend. Thank you for this. I felt their wounds in my chest as I read them. I have much to ponder and will email you soon. See you at CJ.

The most concrete and useful post I have read this year. Thank you Peter!
This a good start for a basic self-defense system in conversation and anchoring with compassion is definitely the way to not get dragged down into the mud pit and not waste time.
Isn't this terribly reductive? Philosophy so frequently likes to categorize and generalize, which I find this does. These characteristics may apply to some, but the world is so much more nuanced than we realize, I don't think this framework can be applied to humanity as a whole, nor should we use it as a guide book for human behavior, placing each male into one category on another.
