A man’s anger is rarely a tool of justice; more often, it is a shackle of the soul. Before you release your fury into the digital void, perform the Vulcan Check. Ask yourself: Is this anger a utility designed to solve a problem, or is it merely a flare gun shot into the air to let your tribe know you are one of the "good guys"?

As Epictetus warned, uncontrolled passion blinds the reason and leads us to chase shadows outside our control. When we indulge in the "tribalistic hedonism" of the digital attack, we cease to be warriors for a cause and become mere actors in a theater of signaling.

Do not let your passion blind you to reason. Audit your intentions. Are you solving the issue, or are you just addicted to the rush of the mob?

Hear the full breakdown on the latest episode of The Sunday Smoke.
