How do Aliens live with out emotion? You don’t feel happy you don’t feel sad.
That would be the same as asking about AI living without emotion. Emotions are chemical reactions. They can generate the same reactions based on how humans react to different situations so that you might never know. This can be done through programming, if cyborg, or by creating the chemical compounds that are generated for specific emotional responses, if humanoid. Humans are simply chemical and electrical beings. Our emotional responses are based on how our body reacts to given situations. If a human’s fight or flight response mechanism is working correctly then there is a specific chemical response that is generated for a specific reaction for a specific kind of situation. Some people have higher anxiety responses than others and live in their fight or flight reactionary position much more than others. This can be do to diet issues, childhood programming created through traumatic experiences that have not been dealt with appropriately as they have aged. Some people are able to control their emotions. Some people are able to control their reactions to pain, sorrow, happiness, joy through their own internal knowledge of their body’s chemical reactions. They can feel what is going on and manage the outcome of their body’s chemical responses happening in real time. This takes much practice and knowledge of themselves, their patterns and being able to manage their own body chemistry in real time. Meditation is a great beginning to harnessing this power. Breath control is paramount. Understanding and managing one’s ego is imperative.
Quite well, thank you.
Those of you who made it through the new requirements to enter the Gate congratulations. It was an arduous accomplishment.
The Fed head’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee yesterday telegraphed a growing chance the central bank could lift rates by another half-percentage point when it meets later this month, Matt writes.
What he’s saying: “If the totality of the data were to indicate that faster tightening is warranted, we would be prepared to increase the pace of rate hikes,” chair Jerome Powell said in his first testimony to lawmakers in over nine months, as Axios’ Courtenay Brown and Neil Irwin reported.
Context: A half-point hike would mark a re-acceleration of the Fed’s tightening campaign. When the central bank last raised rates in early February, it was by just a quarter-point.
The impact: The Fed Funds futures market — where investors can speculate and hedge on swings in the Fed’s key rate — abruptly priced in odds of more than 70% that the Fed would deliver a half-point hike when it makes its next monetary policy announcement on March 22.
Expectations of higher rates dragged the S&P 500 down roughly 1.5%, the third worst day of the year so far.
The bottom line: If the Fed has a lot more hiking to do, there’s good reason to think we remain in a bear market, despite the strong start to the trading year.
How much more rain do you want_
I couldn’t read the article but just from the headline we’re never going to order beef, pork or chicken at a Chinese restaurant again.
I can’t believe they were serving other people’s pet dogs. Do people have any heart. Nader says implies to aliens that emotions are important. I agree. But in a lot of cases that is an emotion lacking in humans.
