That is such a derail, sorry. I was not trying to debate that, I do not want to debate that, I think you missed the point entirely.

Biological determinism doesn't matter at all for what is important here:

1. our internal cues don't correspond neatly to our words for emotions

2. it may be possible to interpret the same sensation as very different emotions depending on context

3. It may even be possible to mis-interpret our emotional sensations, or at the very least interpret them in self-destructive ways.
