Is it possible that what you’re actually feeling is an abrupt drop in empathy? “I would never reason this way; this person is less like me than I had assumed.”
A good resource for distilled bad arguments is Hundreds of Proofs of the Existence of God.
A drop in empathy may well be part of it.
Empathy turns to anger. This is, of course, an emotion one tends to feel physically. “STOP BEING SO STUPID AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
Does the anger lead to hate and suffering ?
Huh, for some reason I feel like it’s the opposite, a rise in empathy because it feels like you should be able to help very easily, but you can’t.
