okay i drew the cupon
Bought $100 of digital albums on bandcamp today cuz I’m tired of giving money to Spotify. The mobile app is just fine but I’m okay with that to directly support artists.
this question has been haunting me for some time. being a member of a social system i feel a duty for the opinions i hold to be developed in some responsible manner, for some suitable definition of responsible
ive always been curious about emotion. some years back while doing i discovered a paper introducing a framework for understanding emotion. this framework was called conceptual act theory (whose acronym was, yes, CAT), and as i recall[1] the main idea was that an emotion is a cognitive response to a physical state.
for instance. feeling tense in your body, and also just had your partner do something they know you don't like? cognitively you might interpret this as anger. on the contrary, feeling tense in your body and sitting in the waiting room for a job interview? anxious.
so i found this paper interesting and the ideas have stuck around in my mind. in fact, i believe this paper has impacted how i view my own emotion
thing is, this absorption happened without doing any real critical analysis of the paper's framework first. i did not look for response articles; did not really discuss with other people; i also did not really question whether the framework makes sense in my own life and for my own emotions
it was just, wow, this feels really good in my brain, and in it goes
again i wouldnt say i fault myself for it. i dont even think id say this is "bad" or to be avoided. but it is certainly a state of affairs with consequences
[1]: i can't find the paper now =(
