this shit is the (afaict, entirely uncomprehended) reason why you get phenomena like the below social strata where people have spent so long emotionally coercing themselves they can't imagine not going on a murder spree if they had an inch of freedomhttps://boingboing.net/2013/04/14/elite-panic-why-rich-people-t.html …

okay but what if I feel pity instead of glee and then, as a second step, feel a sense of moral superiority because of that fact, is that okay

I mix running music with Alan Watts speeches. So I know off the top of my head that he said it, too: “There are *no* wrong feelings.” It’s such a useful bit of wisdom, from time to time.

would distinguish between feelings being "okay" or "not okay", and being better or worse I have a utility function over my own emotional reactions just like over anything, but that doesn't make reactions I wouldn't prefer "not okay"; I'm not responsible to any authority for them

Yeah, this is the important bit. "Not okay to feel X" is wrong, but the people who say it usually mean "not okay to express/gloat about X". It's on them for missing a huge distinction, of course.
