I want to be a History Authoritarian when I grow up. Do they have schools for that?

You have to go to a university and major in history. But to be an authoritarian would take quite a while. You can't go to school to be an authoritarian. You become an authoritarian when others accept you as one. It's earned over a period of time.

Love is a chemical addiction (pheromones and hormones).

Hate is chemical withdrawal.

Can you picture hate in your mind? If not then it's spiritual. If one can picture it then one can draw it on paper. Can you put the picture on paper? Is the chemical the hate?
