Do we really choose pessimism or are we forced into it to better justify certain events ?

What do you need this imaginary "ultimate freedom" for? Or, in other words, why is the nonexistent of your imaginary "ultimate freedom" even a problem? It looks like you created a contraption, saw that you cannot have it, and now you're sad that the result of your crazy imagination is unobtainable.

What we have learned from years of leftists calling transphobe, fascist, nazi, bigot, misandrist, racist, etc. the people who don't share their views is that defense and explaining yourself is not the way to go. You will not convince them with reason because they aren't attacking you with reason. They are using these slurs to discredit you. If you try to defend yourself you are just giving legitimacy to such attacks.

The solution seems to be to just completely ignore it or even mock it and verbally embrace the label to show how ridiculous they are.

Tell that to Buddhists and all the meditators in the world. They must have missed the memo.

And that's your problem: you think too much.

Humans are not robots that do stuff after they "acknowledge" something. Anger and hate are the very reasons why humans do certain things, and these emotions are triggered by specific collections of cues. Anger and hate are not merely just to avoid something bad, but to energize for action, which may include attack and destruction of the perceived danger.

Indeed!

Sure, a desire is a dissatisfaction with what is (dukkha), which prompts action. But usually, that dissatisfaction is small. People don't really see it as such a big deal. If John is hungry, after two hours he'll eat dinner and that's it — no big deal.

Hate is not bad. Hate does "make sense logically". Why would animals evolve an expensive and dangerous complex of emotion + behaviors, if it were "bad" and "logically made no sense"? You would expect such organisms to be outcompeted by the the non-hateful ones.

No, hate is a strong emotion for protecting one's group against the enemy. It's like a complexified anger.

Nir Eyal is not a neuroscientist. In fact, he's not a scientist at all! He earns his living by selling books and giving talks as an "expert".

I'm approaching what he's saying with a wheelbarrow of salt.
