Misanthropyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misanthropy
general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species or human nature.
origin is from the Greek words μῖσος (mīsos, "hatred") and ἄνθρωπος (ānthropos, "man, human").
confused with asociality.
pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus: "people [were] forever without understanding" of what was, in his view, the nature of reality.
In Plato's Phaedo, Socrates describes a misanthrope in relation to his fellow man: "Misanthropy develops when without art one puts complete trust in somebody thinking the man absolutely true and sound and reliable and then a little later discovers him to be bad and unreliable ... and when it happens to someone often ... he ends up ... hating everyone."
Misanthropy, then, is presented as a potential result of thwarted expectations or even excessively naïve optimism
Aristotle follows a more ontological route: the misanthrope, as an essentially solitary man, is not a man at all: he must be a beast or a god
Can you be a Satanist and not be a sort of Misanthrope?
How can you condemn humanity while celebrating that you are part of it?
Is this where the highest embodiment of human life and alien elite concepts come from?
