I was told many years ago by a professional (her 'field' was in manic
depression and anger management, particularly children) that feeling a
loss of control is the cause of much (most?) anger. It made a lot of
sense to me, and since then I've observed that this appears to be
mostly, if not entirely, true. Maybe just me suffering from
confirmation bias, but it certainly appears to be a valid observation.
It also explains (to me) conspiracy thinking - 'knowing' gives a sense
of 'control'. As always, YMMV.
I think I'll go back to lurking. I'm not contributing much related to
the purpose of the list...

put enough pressure or fear into people (such as raise interest rates
to impossible levels) the frontal thinking lobe shuts down our brain,
and we literally cannot think logically, and just go into fight,
flight or freeze. Interesting.
