Whatsamatter Fritzie, the old Tempo stuck in the shop?

Perhaps a quote from Nietzsche will be of some assistance:

"For the indignant man...may indeed morally speaking stand higher than the
laughing and self-satisfied satyr, but in every other sense he is the more
commonplace, less interesting, less instructive case. And no one lies so
much as the indignant man.-"

BGE 26

human (homo sapien sapiens) social group? Cite a study if you will. I need a
good laugh.
