personality traits; some practical advvice (on sleeping and
diet)]
On Rationality
and Emotion
[5:58 mins.] [what we see
in the world is related to what we can use as tools; the limits
on our detection reduces complexity; your body filters out the
parts of the world for you, as does the nervous system; an old
idea--thought is separate from the body; we inhibit aggression;
thinking is a conceptualization of a proper way of being in
the world]
Belief
Systems Regulate Emotions
[5:27 mins.] [chaos is destablizing; belief system is a set

thinking about moving up the dominance hieararcy; a turn to Jung
to help explain how we deal with what we don't understand; "the
corpose of the Gods inhabit your imagination"; "what's
down there? . . . the great archetypes"; imagination is looking
for things to fill itself with]
Negative
Emotion for Human Beings is More Powerful than Positive Emotion
[5:27 mins.] [reference to
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death; terror of isolated being
(an existential idea); being limited in the face of existential
complexity is a fundamental problem; fear of predators (space space
surrounded by danger); the world is a known surrounded by the unknown
(the unknown is akin to a place of predators); we are capable of
exploring the unknown (the unknown can be a source of terror, and
it can be a resource); negative emotions are common place and they
are powerful; limitation in the face of incomprehensible complexity
(attributed to the existentialists)]
