Slightly more speculatively, to the extent that emotional intensity codes for life or death in some sense, having survived it suggests that you responded appropriately. Thus inflexible response patterns to trauma - reliving and re-enacting the same response that worked before.

If upon detecting a familiar situation, you reinstate a previous mental state, you can retrieve cached responses to that situation and react more quickly; and intense emotion tends to signal a need to act quickly. cell.com/trends/cogniti… pic.twitter.com/qy5rBseu0f

Writing something. Curious about how many people think that they get, without additional context, what this is supposed to be a metaphor for. (Click to see all the text.) pic.twitter.com/PXiH1ICx99

If people are consuming long podcasts rather than short ones, presumably they have a preference for longform? Seems odd to say that it's selfish to give people the option they prefer, especially since someone might not even want to listen to short podcasts in the first place.

A friend who makes long podcasts says he prefers to make ones where there's time to cover a topic properly rather than getting stuck on a superficial level. I don't listen to podcasts much, but as someone who prefers to read/write long rather than short articles, seems sensible.

It can't literally go on pause, of course, but maybe something like its activity getting downregulated and that affecting what information gets into the global workspace, or something.

Been looking into Loch Kelly's stuff recently; he talks about an "effortless mindfulness" which, unlike "standard" deliberate mindfulness isn't something that you actively do. Interesting to think of these descriptions in terms of something like "logical hemisphere being paused". pic.twitter.com/mnEV5ZYitV

kajsotala.fi/2020/01/healin… We often talk about emotional work, dealing with trauma, doing meditation and therapy, etc. through the analogy of healing. And there's something to that, but it raises the inevitable question of "when will you be finished healing". That's misleading.

Mulla sama, osaan kaunoa ja tikkukirjaimia mutta en tekstausta. Tuntui että ensin opetettiin tekstaus, sitten kauno, ja sen jälkeen tekstausta ei enää ~koskaan saanut käyttää. Ihmettelin jo silloin, miksei vaan suoraan opetettu pelkkää kaunoa.
