The real reason he is upset is because reality didnt match with 
his internal view(expectations). This creates anger, 
disturbance(dont know better words). Then "left brain" tries to 
come up with reasons to explain this feeling and thats what you 
get in his posts. Left brain coming up with reasons.

People in neuroscience know for some time now that brain comes up 
with possible sounding explanations that are not the real 
reasons. Here are example from split brain. Talking about left 
explaining stuff start at 1:16

Another example from Sam Harris. 19:55-20:10

If you want these kinds of post to go away start managing 
expectation (almost impossible) or improve D (the thing you 
already doing)
