What we progressives and humanists need to realize

[rgraham666]

We are not thinking machines that feel but rather feeling machines that think. - Antonio Dimasio

It's hard for us to recognize this fact. Human always start from emotions and then, most often, rationalize those feelings into 'truth', that is in tune with reality.

The authoritarians and barbarians masquerading as conservatives recognize this. All of their campaigning has been to make sure their victims are consumed with emotion and never, ever get to thinking about what will happen to them under a government run by said authoritarians and barbarians.

Until we find some way of starting our policies from emotion we will continue to lose elections.

You need to realize that voters have spoken.

you tell half the story autobiography

 

[EmptyTank]

maybe you just tapped into the wrong emotion hate

You need to realize that voters have spoken.

Yeah, they have.

I'm not sure that is a good thing though. It won't be the first time in history that people have voted themselves into serfdom.

Hate has a major advantage over other emotions.

First, it makes a person high. Second, it's addictive.

Addicts are easy to manipulate and will do anything to get their next hit.

And everyone loves an addict in their life.

JD wrote a book about what a great experience that is.

Where's your next hit coming from?

I before E except after C.


Intellect before Emotions, unless you'd rather be seen as a Cunt.

The whole Trump presidency, especially the second term, is built on lies. Clearly, those who voted for him believe it too despite seeing the movie once already.

Seems to be a theme today:

Hate is fun.

This is an underappreciated fact of human psychology.

 

[AceDesSpades]

Hate and love are the same emotion.
It is merely a measure.
Subjective.

They are both part of the fight or flight hardware of the evolved mammal. Even monkeys love.
While the Left is furiously hammering keyboards in search of Bard,
mother calls down to the stairs, I love you!

Why do Democrat Attack Trolls all pick “666” names now?

Whatever happened to the “69” ers?

 

[AceDesSpades]

They wanted Satan to know his minions after he was elected?

Their antics surely helped...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The opposite of Hate and Love - which are almost the same - is Indifference.


Satan laughs at this collection of goofs.

 

[AceDesSpades]

I'm with Satan and Hedonism.

A rational anarchist?

Anti-Christ?

 

[AceDesSpades]

I have three sixes up my sleeve...

 

[Lance_Castro]

Here’s another one I don’t get…. If “ liberals” are inclusive and consider everyone as equal… why do they need so many labels and acronyms ?

How can you be united if you divide eveyone into little silos?

Example: I dont need any labels for you to know who i am and what i stand for, do I?

Hey, maybe they’ll lobby for a New Forum!
