In support of the rage of man

[Belacqua]

I'm not familiar with those terms.  You seem to be directing them negatively toward me-- I know that "mansplaining" is derogatory.  But I sincerely don't understand what point you're trying to make.

He's bizarrely manipulating your words to force them into a different discussion, that was big on the Internet last year. The Chad and Stacey thing comes from so-called "Incels" -- involuntary celibates -- who think of themselves as genuine good guys in world where girls only go for shallow handsome boys. 

This has nothing at all to do with what you've been talking about. 

My point was that the emotion of love is likely to cause people to make poor decisions, because that emotion often involves a loss of self-control-- my general thesis is that ALL emotional motivations, if they get out of hand, are likely to be deleterious-- but that very few people will attempt to seek help for those problems.

It all kind of gets judged ex post facto. I mean, if your emotional decision-making works out OK, then it's not seen as a problem. But rational un-emotional decision-making can also go bad. And since life isn't mostly about rationality anyway, how we decide that the emotional aspect has gone too far is just... was I lucky or not?

All Bibles or sacred codes. have been the causes of the following Errors.

1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy. calld Evil. is alone from the Body. & that Reason. calld Good. is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True

1 Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that calld Body is a portion of Soul discernd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2 Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3 Energy is Eternal Delight

Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling.
And being restraind it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.

-- William Blake
