AI Thread Summary
Emotions are complex and deeply intertwined with individual consciousness, actions, and environmental influences. They extend beyond mere thoughts, shaping our behaviors and reactions in a cyclical manner. This cycle can be positive or negative, reflecting the varying nature of our experiences. Analyzing and acknowledging emotions is crucial for self-understanding and personal growth, as unresolved negative emotions tend to resurface. While a definitive definition of emotions may elude us, recognizing the multifaceted factors that contribute to them can enhance our comprehension of ourselves and our interactions with the world.

We can analize are feelings to the end and still never know what they are ment. feelings are somthing bigger than our thoughts they are our actions. Our actions based on how we felt at that given time based on other occurring actions of our daily life. We are who we are based on us and our enviorment in a reoccuring cycle. Sometimes it's a good cycle and somtimes it's a bad cycle. Our thoughts are different in each one of us. But there's always a reason for us to think. Thinking can be used as a helpful gide or could be used against us if we are angry or have problems to be worked out. Bad emotions always come back to us in the end, so it's best not to hide from them. I feel there's no real good definition for emotions but if you take all of what I've writtin above and swished it around backwards and forwards and all around you would understand emotions. I feel it is that complicated

Emotions are complicated. Emotions are individual expressions of ones own consciousness. That is why one laughs and another cries when one dies. There is a clasification of types of emotions and 6 billion consious minds all of which express a reaction to a stimulous. The end result is a complicated cycle of movement of emotions that evolve society in time.
 
.I agree with your statement that our emotions are bigger than our thoughts and they are influenced by our actions and environment. Emotions are complex and can be difficult to fully understand, but it's important to analyze and acknowledge them in order to understand ourselves and our reactions to different situations. It's also important not to hide from our emotions, as they will eventually resurface and can be used as a guide for personal growth. It's true that there may not be a clear definition for emotions, but by considering all the factors that contribute to them, we can gain a better understanding of ourselves and our experiences.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
