Alright, I'll try to piece something together. Earlier you wrote... In regard to creativesoul's creative post, we don't know if you felt appropriately...

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm a bit drunk and was just messing with you.

Denial... interesting.

I feel alright. A little hungry and depleted at the moment but that will be remedied shortly. How do you feel? Are you unmove by public ridicule?

You demonstrate poor emotional grainularity or EQ, apo, failing to recognize satire pointed directly at you.

It's not materialistic in the sense that it's concerned with matters of the spirit, such as meaning, happiness or the reduction of suffering in the wo...

Are we talking about a shift as I've briefly described, essentially shifting from materialistic values to values that are more cooperative in nature o...

It's a trick question. Just because they'll allow us to enter nuclear war doesn't mean that we need to do so. Those sly alien devils! >:)

I interpreted your claim to essentially be that a non-religious person lacks the means to change their values from being materialistic to being less s...

Okay here's a serious vid for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gyGI7sh1E

Not to disappoint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe6rsOZ2NP0

I've always like the IAT tests.

I wonder if this works the same way for conservatism as well, only with the unfortunate side effect of humor getting turned off with the cognitive swi...

It's also currently deeply polarized in sets of values, liberal vs conservative, yet none contest the shared indentity of Americans. Well, with minor ...

This is something I've been wondering about myself. Why aren't there any funny conservative comedians? I've seen some try, Milo tries, but there just ...

Like for example a culture that one might say is 'fear based', as opposed to a culture that has more of a compassionate style? This actually made me c...

@"TranscendedRealms" What do you think of the idea that, rather than a sense, emotions are more like a filter for our senses, shaping and distorting o...

It's not like I didn't put effort into doing just that with the following quote. You're free to ignore this of course. I believe it could be, but it's...

Unconvincing that I don't know what to make of your phrasing? Well, I convinced myself, for what that's worth. Perhaps I may have at least convinced y...

'It is what it is', meaning?

I don't know what to make of your phrasing it this way, that emotion language is how we make sense of what is going on in a socially accepted fashion....

I don't know. Lisa Feldman Barrett I imagine he may have felt somewhat irritated. Isn't that the general direction you were aiming for? You appear to ...

Ironically this indicates that you don't understand or appreciate the theory that you espouse. According to the theory of constructed emotion, there's...

When women folk were in the kitchen and colored folk were back of the bus. :-}

I was thinking about AI in relation to emotions today. I just finished reading a book about the theory of constructed emotion. Upon completion, one th...

The chart shows an affective circumplex. It does not chart emotions or expressions of emotions. Interoception or affect is part of what makes an insta...

As I see it the best or safest approach to what you propose would be to program a non-sentient AI to express human ideals, and to give it control over...

Yes, many Afghans may be grateful, assuming positive changes are made. I should've been more specific.

You're basically describing affect. http://sequencewiz.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Affect.png It's not clear how you're relating affect to emotion ...

How will bombing and killing terrorists in Afghanistan reduce Afghan animosity towards the USA? If anything it seems like it would increase it.

You know this isn't true. We do things all the time that we don't feel like doing yet we know that they're good things to do.

What would Jesus do?

He wants to kill terrorists, right? I guess that'll help to make him look tough, but it's not going to make the world a safer place, unfortunately.

Cracking joints destroys cartilage and quickly leads to arthritis, a very painful condition. Never doubt the nocebo effect also. >:)

One fundamental difference is that given the same stimulus, like an apple, our sense of sight will always convey the same sensory information, whereas...

Speaking of switching, this just in. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4419/36570846242_6d997fb323_z.jpg Does that mean he believes that he's stupid now?

Indeed, my understanding is that the real Jesus wasn't white with blond hair. Affective realism can be expressed in art rather concretely, or should I...

During his campaign, Trump initially said he could build a wall for $4 billion. In January 2017, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said the wall ...

Here's an article.

Have you done any research or are you just going along with the story you like?

I believe the difference is that after the election the story switched to that of American taxpayers paying for the wall and then somehow recouping th...

You wrote that the aesthetic would warm you up in a snow storm. That's affective realism. At a minimum this would ease your discomfort. It may also pr...

https://100swallows.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/painting1.jpg I believe the basic idea is that our perception is partly shaped by our affect. Some cal...

Your mission is to show something that he believes in and sticks to in the face of adversity, demonstrating admirable virtue.

I know, I know, fake news... if you don't like this link I can find another.

Around the time he switched to being a republican? I imagine pretty much everyone hates abortion, btw, and it's not inconceivable that anyone's view o...

If there were an alternative he'd turn on them as quickly as he's turned on other strong supporters, such as Sessions. I imagine he could only be loya...

During his campaign he claimed that Mexico would pay for the wall, which was a popular idea with his supporters. He switched on that part of it, and e...

What does he believe and stick to?
