misanthropy

That is the clear point of his answer to you and it is the polar opposite of misanthropy.

Couldn't agree more, the levels of biting misanthropy on HN really narks me off sometimes.

I have never heard of Men's Rights Activism - and suddenly HN is a active example of such misanthropy? Is this a different HN to this one?

If their misanthropy affects their job choose people who are less misanthropic. If the institutions aren't getting enough A-level talent for research and instruction to choose from, then they should look at how they are attracting talent.

I don't appreciate some self-loathing bitch drafting on my thoughts for misanthropy points. You know what sucks worse than trying to find competent professional medical attention in America?

Uk/ The idea is rather reminiscent of the Diogenes Club: "There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals.

It's what happens when one's desire for change and despair at trying to get the vulgar masses to the self evident "right" thing drives them to misanthropy. It's a misanthropy that sees the rise Leninist vanguard revolutionaries, or Straussian nocturnal councils.

It's also a lot more destructive, and misanthropy could be argued to include all -isms you could name, and then some. Here's a thought, misanthropy is always projected self-hate, delusions of grandeur are just inferiority complexes, and Linus could use a shrink.

Then any counteroffer is simply an open display of organizational misanthropy. Ha!

Between a sad misanthropy and the limitations of foresight, these days I more inclined to a reluctant deontology which puts greater trus tin institutions than individuals.

Then we might end up with fewer kids affecting the asshole-ness, misogyny, alcoholism, or misanthropy of their idols thinking it will make them better programmers, writers, basketball players, or mathematicians. But noooo, it's all "Linus did X, so I'll do X and be cool like Linus!"

No misanthropy here thanks, you should adjust your assumptions. Perhaps we just disagree on the meaning of the word friend - I'd take it to mean someone who you know outside of FB and via other means of communication, someone who is willing to put in the minimal effort of emailing/texting/calling to contact you individually?

Not to get into the whole discussion about whether that was the right forum or etc, but by definition I'd say being generally anti-humanity-propogating-itself meets the bar for "misanthropy".

They're the ones who didn't develop chronic puking disorders, severe panic attacks, lifelong back problems, RSIs and socially crippling misanthropy after being thrown into a "pay-your-dues" war of attrition with hundreds of other idiots and surviving the longest in it. That's how they got where they are-- not leadership, not creativity, not any kind of talent whatsoever, but making it through more years of soul-raping corporate grunt work than their competitors could survive.

This idea that people should move "back to the land" can only originate from the deepest misanthropy and ignorance of the plight of the lower classes -- or perhaps the most starry-eyed technocratic utopianism, if you think that society can somehow provide poor people in disparate areas with a modern lifestyle -- and I'm not holding my breath. Of course, we could just kick poor people to the curb like this; it seems to be our policy already, city councils won't approve new housing for them, they won't approve the construction of a Wal-Mart, expansion of transit services is always opposed by a chorus of veiled racists, etc.
