      I've been in a philosophical mood today; on my 7th martini now, so before I grow incoherent, I'd like to tweet something about human darkness before getting drunk. I'll review this tomorrow. I treat this as my personal log anyway so..

      Each one of us has a Self. The aggregate of emotions, views, thoughts, experiences and memories of said experiences (not the same thing) etc that shape the Self. This Self is never constant, it's in constant flux. Cf. any Buddhist writing on mind an identity & recent neuroscience

      Each self has a drunker self, drawn to hate, loathing, aggression etc. It cloaks itself in reason, like most convincing lies are comprised primarily of truth. This darkside is a valuable part of our identity, evolutionarily speaking it wouldn't have survived as long I'd it didnt.

      But it tries to slip into our decision process, even at times when it's not needed. Being aware when it tries to rear its head makes it useful. It allows us to use it, instead of it using us. Aristotle talked about good an evil and the practical side of virtue.

      With concepts like anger, violence etc not being seen as evil per se but as means to enact virtue (my words), the crux of the problem is, to quote the conservative ancient greek, be [angry] at the right person, at the right time, in the right measure and in the right manner.

      I was gonna try an tie this to a deterministic universe and a closed system without any chance of truly free will.. so we need to try our darkest to reflect on our selves, be aware of our flawed ape nature and try to improve each conscious day in our sapient life.

          But I'm on my 8th martini and getting close to midnight so I'm calling it.. read Sam Harris' "Free Will", Dennett has a compatibilistic view along with Bieri and people like evolutionary biologist @Evolutionistrue are more deterministically inclined.

          Metzinger's ego-tunnel is also a good addition to this.
