The EGO is capable of hate and side-taking, and gets a rush out of it.
The INTELLECT has no use for them.
Hate and self-righteousness block clear, rational thought, and are only good for creating an adrenaline rush that gives a human the illusion of power and superiority. (Good for hunting large prey that would kill you if you didn't have a weapon, good for defending against psycho human invaders.)
A person who hates, resents, and "takes sides" is using a different part of the brain than the parts needed for logical and critical thinking.
Hate and resentment also block out care for others, empathy, and self-respect.
