They really want to paint this as if the ICE agents were Heather Heyer.

Leftist social circles are going to continue with these cycles of moralized fixation across polarized social circles until people realize that they're overly reliant on 'better than chance' frameworks; this easily turns into incorporating every personal struggle into an oppressor->victim narrative.

I'd argue against more deterministic versions of the thesis because while social regulation is a powerful force for shaping our expectations/attention/memory, we do have mental tools to be flexible. Metabolically expensive and still working within an existing meaning framework... but we can do it.

Related to the practice of venting and the mental health of those participating in these pile-ons: time.com/7098679/is-v...

predictive brain + social regulation go brrrrr

It's definitely a bit oversold without emphasizing that there is still structure to variability so that it's more like trying to pin-point specifics within a spectrum rather than being completely alien.

Something not too far from how trans folks try to see ourselves across history/culture contexts.

Ostensibly the people behind him including Rubio. Amazing how they pushed Machado out because they thought she didn't have enough support, so they decided on a ??military occupation?? and subverting the existing government... or something.

Most prominent example in my memory is boundary extension as discussed in this Royal Institute video talk by Eleanor Maguire where she demonstrates it to the audience.

It seems dumb to people who have no experience with terms like 'James-Langue,' 'Cannon-Bard,' or 'Schachter-Singer', or don't recognize affect != emotion, but anyone paying attention to neuroscience (and aren't Basic Emotion diehards) might only question where the author is going with it.

As much as people want to bring their personal beefs with the Atlantic or the author to the front in their responses... Way too many seem to be under the mistaken idea that Basic Emotion theory is some consensus in neuroscience/psychology, and they are failing to differentiate affect from emotion.

As the article begins to mention before a paywall hits, Paul Ekman and the Basic Emotion theory aren't consensus standards in current neuroscience or psychology.
