People’s varying responses to the Molly’s opening thread are interesting. I thought he made a fair few assumptions about how he thought the average Joe Blow experienced and used emotions frankly. Like iam deheretic I thought his expressions about emotions being a changing state and that overwhelming emotion being unhelpful was of fairly average insight really.
I started to part ways with him in the last couple of minutes though when he spoke about emotions not helping to become an integrated individuality. It did not seem that at this point he was speaking about overwhelming emotions but emotions generally – perhaps this is my mistake or the artifact of a time limited video. Perhaps this line of thinking might be true for someone who is such a slave to their emotions that it disconnects themselves from logical thought and action, but I suspect it would be ultimately less helpful to those who tend to be disconnected from or outright ignore what is happening for them emotionally in favour of logic or right action. Horses for courses… As well I think thinking about the possible cultural differences in why nations taking a certain leaning around what is considered higher order functioning is interesting in itself.
