> [philosophy and logic] don't get the same level of hatred that math gets

Because children aren't forced to study philosophy and logic for many hours each week.

And if you think logicians (even of the non-mathematical variety) aren't constantly inventing new notations...

> "I don't give a damn about people understanding what I am trying to say, they are all dumb and uninteresting because they don't even put the time in to learn my special notation"

Those mathematicians aren't calling you "dumb and uninteresting", you're just not in their target audience.

> And your field will be kinda hated, which is what is happening.

Again, it's hated because children are forced to study it, because their parents think it's essential. Most people don't think mathematics is an evil cabal of men intentionally obfuscating their work with crazy symbols just for the heck of it.
