There are no higher emotions/values
#38
RE: There are no higher emotions/values
Holy crap I wanted to post here but couldn't make enough sense of this to say something. At first I thought it was my near complete lack of knowledge in philosophy, But I don't see how emotions are all that different from hunger and thirst. When you feel you feel. You can think about things differently to feel differently I suppose, but that is generally after the fact. I don't think I see things as higher and base emotions.

You can get positive emotions from seeing things in a negative lens. I've gotten a sense of joy from listening to dark music with very dark lyrics many times, Perhaps what TD is referring to is nothing like this.
