Some things (people) that I hate:
- Cellphones with loud, obnoxious rings
- People who talk on cellphones in a loud voice, all the time
- People who look like crazy street people because they are talking on a cellphone that is plugged into their ear
- Not getting as much sleep as I want
- Being told I sleep too much
- People who can't construe a simple logical argument
- People who assume that personal experience defines all intellectual propositions
- Eternal optimists who refuse to acknowledge that their optimism is ever misplaced
- Eternal pessimists who refuse to acknowledge that their pessimism is ever misplaced
- People who are neither optimists nor pessimists, but are not realists
- People who think people are divided into 'two groups'
- Political fanatics
- Religious zealots
- People who claim to be agnostics, not understanding that to refrain from believing is to be a non-believer
- Vulgar rationalism, i.e., crackpot materialism cum atheism
- Dostoyevsky's writing style
- People who think that Nietzche is the greatest philosopher in Western thought
- Ayn Rand
- The state of contemporary publishing
- 'Conservatives' who cite Adam Smith but have never read him
- 99.9% of what's on TV
- Being told that by not watching TV 'I am missing lots of good stuff'
- Advertisements before movies when I am in a theatre
- Movie trailers
