WIST Quotations Has Moved!Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
The man who underestimates himself is perpetually being surprised by success, whereas the man who overestimates himself is just as often surprised by failure. The former kind of surprise is pleasant, the latter unpleasant. It is therefore wise to be not unduly conceited, though also not too modest to be enterprising.Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 10 “Is Happiness Still Possible?” (1930)

ELMIRE: No, amorous men are gullible. Their conceit
So blinds them that they’re never hard to cheat.
[Non; on est aisément dupé par ce qu’on aime.
Et l’amour-propre engage à se tromper soi-même.]

C.Arrogance and entitlement barely scratches the surface; that argument (used by Zuck and various "AI" companies) boils down to "As long as we steal enough material, from enough different people, then it's not copyright infringement".
Kind of the opposite of what Big Content argued in Napster et al, I think.
Siccing Big Content's lawyers on Big Tech would have me reaching for the #popcorn.

In these situations, people are triggered or taught to hate in many ways, such as telling others that they are wrong and seeing our own views as being at odds with alternative views.
Some other examples include seeing issues as having two sides, placing people into categories, and censoring or "canceling" others.
