well trained feelings? if you could train your feelings they wouldn't be feelings.

No, your feelings are just valenced geometrical encodings of various aspects of your situation as interpreted by the perceptual mind. Of course they need to be trained.

Sometimes I wish you had a blog where you do an extra 3-4 paragraphs for some of these neat little tweets to go a little more into detail on what your thinking is…not a full blown exhaustive article, more like a small twitter thread giving some food for thought. Would read.

It's all just sand in the wind :)

Why do some rationalists try to be irrational? Why is it adorable? Is it good, indifferent, or bad?
-
Some people have poor access to their emotions, and unreliable intuitions as a result, so instead they cultivate analytic thinking. Using thoughts to control emotion is a sign of poor integration; in a person with intact emotional regulation, it's a sign of irrationality.

Sounds like you're calling a "rational person" one with 2nd person input focus (emotional level explore/risk-aversion) and 3rd person output focus (intellectual create/novelty-seeking). And "irrational persons" have 2nd person output (create) with 3rd person input (explore).

(I have a brain that is both 2nd and 3rd person output/creativity/novelty-seeking. Plus I have that 4th person creativity, too, for extra weirdness.)

I rely on nothing. Everything that I am is the result of calculating a complex function that is made up of old and new data inputs randomly combined by previous functions. Or, it's all randomly-trained stuff, you could say. I am adorable, though. :-)
