Reply #7: I don't know if rage = anger,

[HereSince1628]

I would agree that rage is a downstream consequence of other mental processes and so may be removed from a inputs that perception of immediate circumstance might contribute. What makes rage different than anger? Does rage cease to have signalling properties and only have aggressive/destructive consequenes?


Re blindness...Having no situational awareness could certainly be dangerous because it may result in being oblivious to risks. That could certainly make a person vulnerable to a risk that is either not percieved or which is dismissed. Are angry people really oblivious to risks? Are "inappropriately" angry peole oblivious to risks?

Acts that are fearless and acts that are brave often seem distinguishable by the awareness of risk prior to the behavior.
