Dealing with emotions and other stuff.

Emotions sometimes short-circuit the cool, logical reasoning of the neocortex. Massive emotional overload.

In the past, emotions have been measured in humans by their physical expression, such as blushing, smiling or accelerating heart rate.

Emotions are generated by the limbic system: a collection of structures such as the hippocampus and the amygdala, which lie beneath the cerebral cortex. Emotions are associated with different types of neural impulses. So the only way its to measure nerve impulses of someone experiencing a normal set of daily emotions is by accessing it directly to the brain. But then again, how can you register happiness in someone whose cranium has been opened up?

So it is impossible to be scientifically certain we have emotions. Or the other advance and evolved emotions.

Opposite emotions often come in sequence.

Guilt, the uncomfortable, unsettling feeling you get when you're considering betraying someone's trust. Why has guilt evolved? From constant worrying.

Love, a most manipulative device.

Stress weakens the immune system; high frequency anger put major strain on the heart. In fact, an angry temperament is a better predictor of premature death than all the fashionable culprits like smoking or cholesterol.

Games are models of rational interaction. They're full of suprises and paradoxes, certainly: bound to be with the circular reasoning they require. But the truth is not all games are meant for fun.

***

A lie could enhance status even more than a truth, so long as it was sufficiently imaginative. This is extremely true.

The trouble with acting is that you're so busy lying and faking and generally fooling everyone-including yourself- that when suddenly the a truth appears in that great mountain of deceit, it's pretty much impossible to see it.
