yup

yes! h/t @Plus3Happiness

Another day another researcher attempting to quantify qualia

Just sensations. Locations are also illusions.

that's what Western propaganda does

It feels like more than 2 dimensions to me usually. But when I can't pinpoint the name of the emotion, I can at least get (what, where).

🔥

Heck. Yeah.

tuples better describe the somatic aspect of emotions, but then you're reducing emotions only to that, which is too one-dimensional and ultimately counter-productive to why people use emotion words

I think this is sometimes more accurate but sometimes a subtle way to dissociate from what's really going on with feelings, by boxing them up in space

why is my timeline suddenly showing me the cringe linkedin spirituality side of twitter :(((

another meditation concept breaks confinement. I remain convinced a year of basic meditative technique around first grade would have a bigger impact than all the SSRIs combined.

Emotions are body localized if you do a bit of self analysis. Taoist have an entire science about it. A gut feeling is localized emotion. If you identify with your emotion (I am angry) you don't get that you have angry emotion starting from your liver (I have angry feelings).

funnily enough, it was the opposite for me. I could feel (pleasure, arm) but could never equate it with happiness imo, both are important

I have no idea what any of this means

Wait haha I thought I was the only one who didn’t know this until late I’m also kind of traumatized that emotions are just sort of motions and sensations. Most people aren’t synesthetes and a pure state of stable euphoria is just being non-sober.

You're just a psychopath

Previously uncontacted tribe of ML researcher discovers "The Body Keeps the Score"

what do you mean by better? What you're proposing is both more specific and yet somehow still lower resolution

“Arm skin”

this is the worst thing i've ever read

This is how I imagine monkeys who barely grasp language communicate

When you get to quaternian let us know so we can unlock more of reality for you.

“Pleasure” doesn’t exactly strike me as a “sensation”, in the same way that “tension” is. Admittedly, I haven’t read the piece yet, but seems like an interesting perspective.

Pretty soon, you’ll progress to “Shaka, when the walls fell.”

Do paraplegics have access to the full spectrum of human emotions under this paradigm?

yes, but also EVERYTHING is better described as a tuple. more specifically, a primary key + foreign key not because conversation should be mechanical and lifeless, but because failing to hook language into a reality that you both can agree upon prevents further evolution into more intuitive, playful communication the capacity for fluidity in language is rate-limited by the strength of shared definitions (and by extention, shared values and experiences).

Labelling this is a buddhist practise no?

So where does pleasure vs pain fit in?
