Anger is a convex heuristic; it is not a reaction to be judged by its small mistakes, but by the total payoff, assuming you direct it at things that offend your sense of ethics. Forget the dictum that anger is madness, to be controlled, etc. If you systematically vent your anger at things that offend you deeply, you may have small regrets, but the upshot is that you will never feel corrupt, hypocritical, or unprincipled. This is the only life worth living. (ANTIFRAGILE HEURISTICS)
