Grand List of Pet Peeves

"Pet Peeves!?" you may alert, why would I have such a precise in a blog about grand epistemological collection? Because it has a very philosophical and psychological essence to it all. The things that tend to make my list of pet peeves are things that I find to be anti-existentialist, anti-humanist, anti-scientific and anti-secular, all of which are qualities I believe everyone should have represented in their personal philosophies.

This entry in the blog will serve as a "live" entry, as I will return to this very spot in order to add more things that I observe in my day-to-day experiences. This is also helpful for me because it catalogs the things that bother me. It's hard for me to answer questions like "what bothers you about this person?" etc. This entry will help to collect a number of things that bother me across-the-board. So let's begin!

- Simpleton Realization: when people figure out the true definition of a word or concept, and then they become empowered by this. For example: "Faith" -> "consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." Yes, thanks for the definition of faith, now stop acting like that justifies it as a virtue. Violators of this pet peeve typically are fanatical religious people, irrational people and neo-hippies (not the good kind).

- People Who Waste My Time: I value my time (and effort) very highly, and those who waste... either through neglegence or by undoing my effort annoy me.
