Fascinating talk. Thank you 🙏
Brilliant
As a psychotherapist I found this utterly inspiring and helpful! Thank you very much for this talk!
Thanks
Excellent talk
Surely anxiety or other examples given such as pain can be both a defence and a a defect. If you are feeling anxious in the presence of a a real and rational threat then that is a defence whereas if you are feeling chronically anxious then that is a defect by the definition given in the presentation in the same way that if you have overdone something and you feel fatigued then that is a normal response to activity but if you are chronically fatigued without overexerting yourself then that is different. If the smoke alarm keeps going off when there is no fire or smoke then surely there is a defect in the smoke alarm. However I do think that Randolph is right when he states that emotion is something that isn't clearly defined or researched within psychology or psychiatry. How is it possible to properly understand emotional disorders such as anxiety or depression if we do not not properly understand what emotion is?
This is a fucking gem.
But ... your comment shows a void of intellectual expression ... so, I'm not even going to watch the vid. Comments are so revealing, eh ... many have No Content of any value.
Bruh just watch the video…
a useful talk. however, while negative or solitary emotions can be considered as a response/coping mechanism (either biological or physiological), there's no clarity on what the positive emotions/outbursts are about and what function they serve. understanding both sides of the psyche is important.
Positive emotions serve humans to incline them to take certain actions that give them a higher avarage amount of offspring I think. Emotional outburst could be explained by the Smoke Detector analogy I think.
A room full of Psychiatrists must emit a wretched stench because their minds are rotting away from all the putrid ideas they have that are then applied to the vulnerable patients being misdiagnosed and tortured.
The funders of higher ed are the social engineerers who also have pushed the evol crapola. The darwinians made some genuinely crazy folks. I married into a bloodline fam and it is obvious - darwin was wrong ... and yet also another lineage goon.
Experimenting on the masses appears to be a game, or sport to the masters of this world.
😂😭👍
Psychiatry is filled with plumbers that don't understand fluid dynamics or even basic physics. They can occasionally piece pipes together and help people move things along, but that's based on historical practice, rules of thumb, and luck. Pathologizing of normality is the crime "good people" perpetuate with the aid of a medical school degree.
Not one bow tie amongst them ....discuss.
