“Many great thinkers are said to be misanthropes, usually because they did not embrace all people around them as the greatest thing since sliced bread (which is actually a terrible thing: it massively reduces flavor if you keep it more than a day, which the shipping process by very nature imposes). This enables us to write off their opinions as 鈥渟ubjective,鈥 with an airy wave of our hand and the all-knowing proclamation, 鈥淵ou know he was a misanthrope鈥 or 鈥淗er misanthropy kept her from knowing the good in humanity.鈥 This dismissive outlook is designed to protect the meek among us, who might be offended by the knowledge that recreational heroin use is actually a somewhat illogical outlook (to avoid absolute categories, we say 鈥渇or most,鈥 since for some people, dying of heroin addiction is the best solution). Misanthropy goes into the file with evil, terrorists, hackers, Nazis, pot smokers and Montana cabin-dwellers 鈥 people who have rejected society, and thus cannot be trusted.”
