@erdstern @bit101 Feelings cannot change facts, but they are always altering the perception and usage of them. Like you said, this is always tied to some form of status. I often think this is fueled by a shallow/weak/fragile/incomplete ego. The need for endorphins of acceptance to justify their existance, at whatever cost to the good of society. This has only gotten more acute and accelerated by tech. Personally, I do not care if I am wrong. Knowing the fact supersedes the self. I'm fascinated by aphantasia. I am full on hyperphantasia. Everything is a manipulated object, time included. The relationships to other objects give context, or show relations. Say chair and there's one formed in my head. Recliner... when is the first time you saw a recliner? All of that is like following that object into an interlinked set of object-spaces. Pull out, the first time I understood what a recliner did and how it differentiated, that I can recall, 3 months prior to my 4th birthday. Sitting on the floor in my grandparents house next to a gold heave weave recliner and watching the lever being pushed cause the metal arms to extend. Those are solids with full sensory attachment. Abstract things, finding someone cute, are understod by other object-space moments and collating them into a network. I cannot fathom how it would feel not seeing that. I understand it, and can even imagine evolutionary reasons for keeping that full spectrum. But the feeling of being alone and disconnected is disheartening. I do not assume that is your feeling though. Same thing ofr colour sited feeling like sad towards me. While I just view it as a norm and something to research and understand.
