[MD] Emotions

Squonk:
Are you suggesting RMP is psychotic? If so, this may explain characteristics displayed by his foremost disciples.

John:
But "psychotic" wasn't actually your accusation, was it. You were speculating that it was mine. Oops. Well at least I laid that question to rest.

Hello John,
Well, we’re not in court; I’m not doing me Perry Mason bit.
I tend to subscribe to the view that we live in a Human Zoo of our own creation, and psychosis is the norm. Analytical genius will exacerbate that i should imagine.

John:
Now, tell me how you define "foremost".
John the hindmost

Squonk:
Those who are parasite upon RMP in order to attain status.
Status feeds upon biological emotional drives IMHO.
If the biological nature of emotions and the social structures that use them in order to maintain and evolve themselves can not be demarcated then the moq requires revision.
IMHO these can be demarcated with a degree of clarity.
I was not being facetious when I introduced sexual fetishism; I felt it to be a clear example of emotional mapping onto a relationship that does not primarily involve a human relationship.

All the best,
squonk
