Dear Pedro,
<div class="ContentPasted0">thank you for the informative comment and link to the ideas of Jaak Panksepp. This is similar to Daniel Kahneman's thought about System-1 and System-2 in the work of our brain.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">System-1 really uses the emotions "joy-pride" and the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin associated with them as encouragement.
<br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">System-2 is much more diverse. Here, different emotions can act as a reward emotion (positive valence). This thesis is illustrated by the variety of surrogates that people use to replace natural endogenous neurotransmitters. For
example, ethyl alcohol is similar in its emotional effect to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It increases the resistance of the nervous system to the passage of a nerve signal, that is, it weakens the flow of information (emotions of the "sadness" group).
As a result, alcoholic beverages lower the threshold of behavioural reactions - self-control weakens, and a person shows impulses that are suppressed in a sober state. As they say, what is on the mind of a sober person is on the tongue of a drunk.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">Among my acquaintances there are people who are committed to dangerous and extreme adventures. For them, the neurotransmitter of encouragement is adrenaline and norepinephrine (emotions of the group "fear" and "anger"). These are
"adrenaline junkies" who are ready to risk their health and life for the sake of their gambling happiness.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0">Etc.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
As I wrote earlier, a variety of emotions are in demand on the market. This means that all of them can have a positive valence for someone<br>

<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr">The enormous complexity of the human mind body system mediated by an ensemble of hormonal signals suggests a few points to me:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">That emergence is the summary expression of emotion and thought is driven by chaotic dynamics where the stabilizing logistic curve of moderation and negative entropy is overtaken by strange attractors mediated by hormonal signals and the volume
and intensity of informational flows. The strange attractors leading to the realization of conscious thought.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Strange attractors I suggest are the root of emergence of new thoughts and ideas and summary judgements. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Social theorist me was pondering the implications $90 trillion to be invested global transformation toward renewable energy and thinking how to make all energy users also become energy owns of the renewable energy systems they used. After much
typically unconscious deliberation the idea leaped to my mind that we could use tax equity as a means to transfer ownership to energy users who have contracted for renewable energy supply.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">This was a repurposing of the dark arts of finance for social benefit. Our species and our brains have evolved to take advantage of the exquisite complexity of our complex information resources that lead toward amazing things like a patent clerk
staring at the window and watching the trains and first conceptualizing and then writing equations for the Special Theory of Relativity. Our social existence and our language ability then resonates globally through billions of creative minds. To reduce the
complexity of the human mind as just another programed computer is another and most popular philosophical category error to confuse wiring code instructing a machine with the zettabytes of information in dynamic and shifting action of the human brain.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The need to make quick summary judgements transmuted into taking action even before conscious thought take consciousness clearly evolutionarily selected. Once upon a time I was cutting down an old triple trunk dead elm tree in my farm pasture
with a chain saw in my youthful foolishness. Aa I cut though one of the trunks, the but of the tree hinged to the other two suddenly swung back up toward my head. I jumped back before the thought that I could get killed came to consciousness. That's similar
to pulling your hand off a hot stove before the pain signal makes your scream or shout.</div>

I am working with Pedro in some better connection of sentiment analysis with the complex landscape of social emotions--so much abused in social networks. We think our concept of the "sociotype" could be useful to understand better the different kinds of social
