Anger is a Signal You're Capable of Violence

Description

Naval Ravikant explains anger in a simple but powerful way. When you get angry at someone, you're basically warning them that you could hurt them if you wanted to. It's like when animals bare their teeth or puff up to look scary - they're showing they're dangerous without actually attacking. Anger is our human version of this threat display. We use it to try to get what we want or to make someone back down. But here's the problem: anger often makes situations worse instead of better because it puts everyone on edge and can lead to real violence.
