Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice.

Xuě Xīlián… I thank you… Without meeting you, I would not have found this new purpose.
I— Isaac Mun—now have the avenue to stand above this Stage of Actors.
They will say I mistake correlation for causation. They will say hatred is a mere emotion and not a mechanism. They will cite the physicist who loved mathematics, the revolutionary who built toward something positive. They will say the collapse of civilizations occurs due to pure friction.
Fine~
I accept these critiques. I will annihilate them by refining what hatred actually is.
Hatred is not rage, no no no…
Rage is the primitive's response to stimulus, ultimately noise, even I find irritating.
Hatred, when properly understood, is the refusal to integrate an unacceptable present state into one's identity.
I thin— know that hatred is the ontological rejection of what is.
When something refuses to accommodate its previous form. That is hatred. The caterpillar does not love becoming a butterfly. It undergoes a dissolution so complete that the previous form is obliterated chemically in the chrysalis. The caterpillar hates what it was enough to dissolve it.
There is no emotion in that.
They can see evolution works through differential survival, not hatred.
They are wrong.
They have merely renamed the thing without understanding it.
What is differential survival?
Hm?
It is the rejection of configurations that cannot persist. A mutation that weakens must be refused. Natural selection is nature's hatred of the dysfunctional, expressed through elimination. The predator executes its ontological veto against prey-weakness that continues to propagate.
That is the Mechanism of Hatred.
I do not claim emotions drive evolution. I claim that what evolution is is the structural rejection of the obsolete. The emotion of hatred is merely the conscious Human manifestation of this principle.
They can further cite Newton, Einstein— Oh wait? It's Newtun and Einstain in the new EAA, right? What a joke. No matter—men who loved their work, not hated their predecessors.
Again, they confuse the surface with the depths.
Newton did not hate Aristotle emotionally.
But Newton's framework obliterated Aristotelian physics, refusing to preserve it. Newton's intellectual monument was built by annihilating the previous architecture and refusing to permit Aristotelian premises to survive within his new order.
That refusal is hatred at the level of ideas.
Einstein did not rage at Newton. But Einstein's geometry was an act of intellectual abhorrence toward Euclidean space as the foundation of physics. He would not tolerate that premise, and so he dissolved it.
The hatred was perfectly cold and mathematical— but it was hatred nonetheless.
The emotion of love they felt was secondary. The primary force was the refusal to accept the inadequacy of what came before.
That refusal is what I am going to name hatred.
Evaluate yourself, Isaac.
Hatred narrows cognitive scope. It suppresses abstract reasoning.
Is that not resentment?
Resentment is hatred directed inward, toward one's own powerlessness. Resentment corrodes, but hatred is directed outward. It sharpens the mind to a razor's edge. The person who will not tolerate injustice does not become retarded but focused. The mathematician who abhors imprecision does not lose cognitive flexibility; they gain it, directed toward the elimination of sloppiness.
The difference is this: Resentment is a victim's hatred, whereas True hatred is an agent's.
I do not ask Humans to hate themselves or their weakness with resentment. I ask them to hate their present inadequacy so thoroughly that they dissolve it and rebuild.
Pathology? Fuck no.
This is the only way a Human being becomes.
Rome and the Song Dynasty—civilizations that incorporated the defeated and lasted longer.
Precisely.
Why did they incorporate the defeated?
Because they hated instability more than they hated the other. They refused to tolerate perpetual conflict. So they restructured and established order.
It is hatred directed at a higher level of abstraction, hatred of chaos, refusal to permit perpetual warfare to continue.
The civilizations that collapsed were not those that hated their enemies most intensely. They were those who ceased to hate anything, who accepted the degradation of their institutions, the corruption of their leadership, the erosion of their power, as inevitable. Rome fell not from excess of hatred. I'm starting to think it fell from its absence. No one hated the decline enough to stop it. No one refused it.
But what of a system that doesn't advance by maximizing internal friction?
Optimal friction creates order, no?
I agree entirely. And I have never argued for friction for its own sake.
But what determines the optimal friction level? What decides which friction must be tolerated and which must be eliminated? The answer is the refusal to accept certain states as permanent.
A system that accepts all friction as necessary stagnates. A system that refuses to tolerate any friction collapses into oscillation. The systems that advance are those that hate certain configurations enough to eliminate them while preserving what functions.
I fear I am describing a universe of perpetual annihilation—no knowledge compounding, no standing on giants' shoulders.
Evaluate yourself once more, Isaac?
The opposite.
Giants' shoulders are precisely what you stand upon when you refuse to reproduce their mistakes. When you hate the errors they made enough not to repeat them. When you structurally obliterate their misconceptions while preserving their methods. This is the perfection of knowledge through refusal.
Every advance in physics required the structural abhorrence of previous inadequate models. Copernicus did not build heliocentrism while preserving geocentric assumptions.
He obliterated them in favor of his own.
Planck did not accommodate classical mechanics into quantum theory.
He obliterated them at the smallest scales.
Knowing that GR and QM have been unified in New EAA… Literally.
Each refusal was an act of hatred toward what could not continue. And yet knowledge compounded. Because hatred, that is, the structural refusal of the inadequate, is not opposed to progress…
But is progress itself.
The most disgusting of all…
'Love permits sustained cooperation. Hatred burns out.'
What a false dichotomy.
Love preserves the status quo. A parent loves their child, and this love makes them accept the child as they are. A musician loves their instrument, and this love makes them forgive its limitations.
Love is the force of integration and of homeostasis.
But civilization does not advance through homeostasis, don't they?
It advances when someone refuses to accept the inadequacy of what is loved. A teacher who loves their students but hates their ignorance will torment them with demands for growth. A scientist who loves knowledge but execrates false certainty will destroy comfortable theories. A leader who loves their people but refuses to tolerate their suffering will restructure entire empires.
The French Revolution failed not because hatred was too strong, but because it became undirected—hatred without purpose, rage without principle. Hatred for its own sake is indeed destructive. But hatred, as the refusal to permit an unacceptable state to persist, is the only thing that ever changed anything.
.
.
.
All said and done, I emerge with this:
Hatred is not an emotion mistaken for causation. Hatred is the principle of all change, experienced emotionally by conscious beings. It is nature's refusal to preserve the dysfunctional, made conscious in the human capacity to refuse, reject, and obliterate what must not persist.
Love preserves. Hatred transforms.
A civilization built on love alone is one that accepts itself as sufficient. It is a civilization that will die. A civilization that hates its injustices, abhors its ignorance, refuses to tolerate its limitations, advances.
They may call it conviction. They may call it a principle. They may call it determination.
I call it what it is.
Hatred is not evil when directed toward that which deserves annihilation.
And everything that fails to evolve deserves to be obliterated and hated.
This is the only kindness that matters, one that refuses stagnation and its masquerade as stability.
Hah… What a spiteful worldview this is…
And it's all so I can say…
What a grotesque perfection this humanity is.
Agrarian humanity…
Pft… It's disgusting to imagine those words roll off my tongue.
Indignation is the final proof of being Human.
We are born for conflict… To contend… To triumph through whatever means permit…
A Human incapable of hatred is a human incapable of valuation.
There exists no force more honest than hatred.
Used in the right way, hatred is not evil.
It is my tool that allows me to continue the legacies of all those who have hated in a world where humanity isn't Human.
Hatred is not merely an emotion to me… Not anymore…
Hate… Indignation… Execration... Anathema...Abhorrence…
Farewell to you.
I will classify you under the umbrella term of Isaacian Selectionism.
I will preach this view as I progress through a story I no longer know of.
Hate will be the counter-force against the higher scientific divinity…
Indignation is the matter beneath transcendence…
Execration is a field on which the Human soul still moves.
Anathema is the hidden, now revealed, final refusal to accept this world as sufficient.
Abhorrence is the sacred text to my new goal.
Hatred is becoming… No… What more do I need to say?
Hatred is.
Hatred is.
I miss my My Universe…
I never wanted to come to New EAA, nor did I want all my beliefs to be killed off one by one.
So I will call forth on my Humanity to aid me once more.
My defining trait: adaptability.
I will walk past grief and use it as the flames to burn my iron. I will use every challenge I face in this New Story as the hammer to strike the iron. And my victory will serve as the tempered blade.
A blade capable of defying the world.
I, Isaac Mun, swear!

On cue, the static of a system once inactive long ago flickered back to life, in tandem with the activation of the | Media Literacy | Attribute. A fact so unsettling, for it had acknowledged Isaac's newfound sense of purpose as genuine character development.
A deeply unnerving conclusion.
For it recognized only the character development and traits of those bound to the narrative of Elenos Arcane Academia.
Not that which existed beyond it.
