Media often depicts revenge as a desire for pure payback - an eye for an eye. When we take a closer look, however, we can see that revenge is a bit more complicated!

Revenge seems like the wronged individual or group committing some harmful act against the person or group who wronged them. Retribution seems like when either the wronged individual or an external body enacts punishment in response to the person who was wronged
Yes I always thought revenge was more of a form of communication with the person who wronged them, or a way to fairly settle the dispute with that person though physical means.
I found the concept of message in revenge insightful.
A very timely video for me; I just wrote up an argument against penal substitutionary atonement and I was looking at aims of punishment. If this is your area of expertise then I have a question: the aims I was examining were deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, retribution, and restitution. Most all punishments seemed to fit into one or more of these categories, but then someone brought up apologies. What aim of punishment do pure apologies fall under? Do they even count as punishments?
Apologies in a broader sense are important in the recent academic discussion of communicative theories of punishment (a mix of retribution and deterrence). Such theories claim that the punishment should offer the offender ways of apologizing or even atoning to the victim or the broader community. This can be done by accepting a legitimate sentence, or by providing restitution, participating in victim-offender mediation, etc. Antony Duff (Punishment, Communication, and Community, 2001) and Christopher Bennett (The Apology Ritual, 2008) are good academic books for this question.
But if you mean by "pure apologies" the mere verbal act, then I don't really know anyone saying that this would be punishment. It can be part of a broader response to wrongdoing, but it will probably need more (restitution, rehabilitation, or punishment)
@@PhilosophicalQuestions OK, thanks!
I choose not to have social media except for CZcams. I got rid of my social media for a lot of the reasons that you bring up. In doing so my life has less stress. Now that it's been over a year, I don't know why people still use it. For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would have a twitter or "X" account.
