Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0019`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0020` - evidence: The wrath-vision sequence presents three exemplars of non-angry response: Mary and Joseph discovering Jesus safely in the temple, Pisistratus refusing revenge, and Saint Stephen praying for persecutors while dying. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0092`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0093`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0094`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0095`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0096` - normative: Jiang says these wrath examples show that the proper answer to anger is understanding and forgiveness rather than retaliation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0096` - normative: Jiang says the wrath exemplars are meant to teach understanding and forgiveness instead of anger. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0097` - evidence: The Canto 16 transition places Dante in black smoke on the terrace of wrath, where blindness and dependence on guidance become central. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0173`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0174`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0175`, `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0176` - definition: Virgil names three neighbor-directed corruptions of love: seeking supremacy through another's abasement, grieving another's excellence because it threatens one's own standing, and seeking revenge for injury. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0213` - model: Jiang says lust, wrath, greed, and gluttony are outside the capital city because they primarily harm the self, whereas heresy and fraud are punished more severely because they express malice toward others. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-p82v6uac9ss@transcript:v1#seg-0119` - diagnosis: Jiang says a meritocracy trains people to delight in another person's pain, especially when a previously celebrated rival finally fails.
