If you don't, then you should readjusting something, possibly your hatred of Randy.<br /><br />2) A fault is a fault whether you can do something about it or not. It may not help your self-esteem, but that is the way it is. Panesar is a terrible batsmen and fielder, and that is a factor when selection comes around. If he can't improve a great deal in these, then it is a worse fault.<br /><br />3) I've been inspired to change my mind on this. You can't decide to truly hate someone, it is a reaction that bypasses any conscious thought. I don't hate Randy, but I fucking despise some of his fans.

X's status doe...1) They're both ad hominem. X's status does not determine whether X should hate or criticise Y - Y's status does.<br /><br />2) The fault is the process of not doing what you can do. If you have two things A and B which you might be able to improve, but you cannot improve both, then there is only fault if you fix neither. Once you have identified A as more important and start fixing it, there is no fault in B - it just is. A fault is subjective to the individual's capabilities. While this may take some time to grasp, it is the only way not to end up concluding that every way in which you are not omnipotent is a fault.<br /><br />3) No. You hate him while he repeatedly commits the act and until he starts acting differently. "Compulsion and desire" are wishy washy and can barely be measured, let alone used as yardsticks for hatred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-4993723915083389452012-04-08T07:08:27.735-07:002012-04-08T07:08:27.735-07:001) I should elucidate - I meant "you can'...1) I should elucidate - I meant "you can't criticise xkcd unless you could draw a better comic" is different from "you can't hate Randy unless you refrain from engaging in activities that are comparable", which is the point Jon is making, I think.<br /><br />2) My cricket example was meant to make clear a particular dilemma - one where there are two (or more) clear faults, but working on one to the exclusion of the other is far more beneficial. Panesar could work on his reverse sweep all he wants, but he is going to stay bottom of the batting order. If he could get his doosra working properly (or if he learned to bloody catch), however, he would be a more effective cricketer. Our time is limited, and we sometimes have to live with a fault that we are simply not good enough to fix.<br /><br />3) Prediction is relevant to hating.

We criticise the act and hate the human who had the choice not to act that way.<br /><br />> <i>Sometimes faults are not worth the time and effort to fix</i><br />I can list a million things which I don't do precisely as I would like, from poaching an egg to flapping my arms to fly, but which would take too much effort to change. Where do I draw the line and stop regarding all these things as faults? Better to think of my condition as human and limit the "fault" label to those things I should get to changing for the better.<br /><br />> <i>Motives are useful when trying to determine what someone will do next</i><br />Yes, "motive" as a term to describe behaviour prediction is fine - but note that this is different from "motive" as a term to describe why a person thinks or claims he does what he does.

Sometimes you have to accept that you can't reverse sweep, and just work on your doosra instead.<br /><br />Motives are useful when trying to determine what someone will do next, and whether they will do it again.
