"Also, wrongthought, I wasn't being fair to dath ilan there. Sadism can be expressed as positive 'trolling', as an aggressive instinct in competitive games, or as a struggle for advantage inside of Complicated Relationships. The desire for power can express itself in wanting to start your own company. The desire to shape somebody else exactly how you want them... I don't think is on the list of primitives, at least that I saw of it, and seems too specific for it? Maybe that's like, desire for power plus whatever it is you wanted from somebody else being that way. Like, not strict addition, the two feelings can blend together with each other and with sexuality to form a new response that becomes part of you. But it's not on the list of 'universal genetically built-in primitives' either, I'm guessing, even if there's a real list somewhere and I only saw the censored version of it."
"Now I'm wondering if sexual sadism is on a real version of that list that gets censored, or if it's something nonprimitive that happens to people when their sexuality and their sadism blend a certain way. Probably the first case? If it was nonprimitive they'd have worked out how to stop it happening."
