Emotions 2f6x6l

Notes on the upgraded model to address people: A person is not just a single entity, so when we address someone, which part do we really address? This is essential in r0oT, where we want to engage people to enhance their own critical thinking and to purge manipulative memes from themselves. In order to approach this, we need an upgrade of the model of a person. No more just a single entity, a unified "me".

(this is just the head and part of the body of a stick figure)

just me

This model is very simplistic, but it is, however, the most extended one. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to achieve a change in a person if you use this model. No matter how reasonable you are or how well documented, the "just me" will usually oppose to change.

What we need is cleary an improvement of this model to visualize the difficulties hidden in human communication and try to overcome them. The first thing to add is an external layer, or the rational layer.

neck head

rational space Here we have improved something. We know that when we address someone we usually talk to a more or less rational person. However, something is going on inside because sooner than later, irrational behavior appears and usually dominates over the rational one. This model don't help us much yet. In r0oT, we know that all the interesting memes are inside, yet people usually expose only the external layer.

Let's go little by little. In fact, when we talk to someone, the rational space must open to our partner. reason reason reason reason

Here we see how reasons are exchanged because the reason shell is open. However, the emotional shell remains closed. No matter how many reason we exchange, the memes are protected by an emotional shield. In fact, reasons usually act as warriors put there to defended the meme core. Reasons are very volatile due to the tools of rethorics. Rethorics is an art to give apparently strong reasons even if there is no reason at all in them, but it is very effective at this type of fight.

When we address someone by providing (sending) reasons and there, our reason warriors are identified as intrs, the remote host will fabric all type of reason antibodies, because it notices that our reasons are trying to enter into the meme core. The battle is a rethorical one, in which the remote host feel attacked and what matters is to protect its memes. This is what we usually experience when trying to change the opinion of someone. It is easy to end up fighting and degrading the level of the conversation. Here, the word "reason" means rethorics, just that. Reasons can be used to relate things, but provided a given set of axioms, reasons can proof anything you want.

It is clearly the meme core the set of axioms that produce the reasons of outside. The question is, why are memes so well protected? The answer is: emotions. The emotional shell is made of emotions. We can upgrade the model further. reason reason emotion emotionemotion emotion emotion emotion meme emotion emotionmeme emotion reason emotion memeemotion emotionmeme reason meme emotion emotion meme emotion meme emotion emotion emotion emotion emotion reason emotion

Notice here how emotions are shielding the memes (the most deeply rooted elements inside us). Both the emotions and memes are responsible to create the external reasons. Memes can be seen as "definitions" and emotions are "axioms". A more scientific mind will create reasons from external facts as well but here we are depicting a less scientific, more common person. Then, again, how do we make a breach to reach the meme core? I think the answer becomes clearer now. Apart from opening the reason shell to conversate, we need to ask this person to open his/her emotions.

In order to open someone for an emotional communication, we need to offer trust and also our emotional context. Then his/her emotions will flow through the conversation and will open a channel to the memes section. reason

We see how now memes are exposed and are able to come out, to be communicated, and new memes could also enter. Conclusion: even if critical thinking is the act of reasons questioning your own memes, it is difficult to be done alone, because emotions will block the way. It is much easier to receive emotional to be able to channel those emotions out and establish a path for memes to be open to improvement. Then, in r0oT analysis and conversations, facts will be there, well exposed, easy to diggest, prepared to tell us how the real world is now, but first of all we need people to be open, emotionally open. Without doing this first, all the reasons exchanged will be defensive, and emotion, feeling threatened, will shield with more determination the memes inside.

Notice here how reasons and facts have been able to penetrate the inner core!
