| 4/4/25 |  Sarah Constantin and I talk emotions | I saw this Twitter thread from Sarah and offered her to talk to her about it on a podcast, and Aaron volunteered to moderate. I was more taking the position that all emotions are functional, and Sarah was approaching things from a more bio-realist perspective. Ultimately, I don’t think we disagreed about all that much once we hashed it out!Some things we referenced:* How Emotions are Made* It’s not about the nail* Ads don’t work that way* Society is fixed, biology is mutable This is a public episode.
