By Martin Štěpán [E]motions are not moral or immoral, they just measure changes in property. At most, you can say they’re bad when they’re measuring incorrectly but that’s not about morality but about the brain working sub-optimally. I think what might also be going on is conflation with Christian deadly sins. But these, as far as I know, are judged by actions. So, greed can motivate a rational agent to accumulate wealth by engaging in reciprocal exchanges where parasitism and predation are sufficiently dis-incentivized. Lust can motivate one deepen connection with his mate and to produce a next generation, especially, again, where the alternatives are sufficiently dis-incentivized. Vengeance can lead one to punish what deserves to be punished and thus dis-incentivize the recipient of vengeance from repeating it (or else removing him from the society and the gene-pool) as well as dis-incentivize other from doing the same. Self-deception might lead to behave in more moral ways, such as when one deceives himself that there is an afterlife and morality our actions in this life will determine whether it will be pleasurable or painful. Empathy can often be extended to people who deserve none or who cannot or wouldn’t reciprocate, enabling parasitism.

P Logic in Relationships
[Y]ou don’t use P-logic to argue with your wife, girlfriend – even if you probably should use it with your daughters. You use P to UNDERSTAND your wife or girlfriend, so that you can ask the right questions and give the right answers.
—“I can only imagine the fallout from telling a significant other during a heated discussion that her emotions were simply a response to a perceived change in property.”—Michael Churchill
The most important of which isn’t to tell her her feelings are wrong, or her desires are wrong, but whether they are possible or not, and whether they would achieve desired ends or not. Women need you to listen while they work through suppressing the emotion and impulse. They need you to support them as they work through those thoughts impulses and emotions so that you relieve them of the burden of doing it alone. And they need you to help them come to a conclusion on their own – just as they help you through your male anger or frustration when it clouds your vision. And they need you to say ‘no’ when it’s your fking job to say ‘these are the limits’ beyond which you are not willing to go – and not apologize for it. Be a man. Give her room to exercise emotional frustration by emotional expression like you exercise emotional frustration by physical expression.

Doolittle vs Dennett on Consciousness
—“You know, P language reminds me of a direction I think Danial Dennett was going with how to study consciousness (Phenomenology), but P is more complete. It was in his book “consciousness explained”.”— Adam Jacob Robert Walker
[Y]es, well we are all subject to the same information and converging on the same solution. And I’m just the one who put it all together first. Probably because I started with ai, programming and economics instead of philosophy and psychology. So as the neurological revolution unfolded over the past twenty years I had less of a paradigm shift than the other thinkers. And I don’t have pressure to publish. So I just kept working without anchoring myself.
—“If Dennett built more on cog/sci and less on phenomenology. Dennett also made the mistake of using colour for uniformity of qualia as opposed to geometry (ancient Greeks). The qualia of geometry is uniform; the qualia of colour is not. *Uniform across human personal consciousness.”—Andrew M Gilmour
Well done. very few people have that insight. Nice.
