What does it mean?

Post Reply New Topic

Accepting that I have different feelings than most folks has been humbling, but is also freeing.

Now I need to read up on alexithymia. I do not know what it means, but I do relate to much of what is being discussed here. My physical reactions are the biggest way I know if I am experiencing an emotion. Then I go back and review what was going on and 'insert correct emotion word'. I am also unable to adequately gauge internal pain and I very much relate to what was said about not noticing physical ailments then finding out had I waited any longer I would have died. I have had emergency surgery before because of this. Thank you for starting this topic.

That is an unjustifiable assumption, not a logical conclusion.

It's not an assumption. It's the conclusion I came to after I pinched myself really hard and felt the pain.

You are contradicting yourself. "Thinking is an inevitable outcome of being" is a universal statement, yet you say that you only apply it to yourself, at least in this discussion. "My thinking is an inevitable outcome of my being" would be more appropriate.

morphic resonance posits that "memory is inherent in nature"[3][9] and that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".
Morphic resonance is not accepted by the scientific community as a real phenomenon and Sheldrake's proposals relating to it have been characterized as pseudoscience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake

it doesn't match up with the experience of most people or the current state of psychology.

Well, a group from the University of British Columbia recently published an enormous meta-analysis on the danger of assuming that all of humanity closely matches the behaviors of 20-something college students. They cite evidence that between 2003 and 2007 undergrads made up 80 percent of study subjects in six top psychology journals, and that 96 percent of all psychology samples come from countries that make up only 12 percent of the world’s population. They call this the WEIRD population—Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic—and say that they are the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans.

The researchers found huge variability between global populations along measures of motivation, self-perception, reasoning, heritability of IQ and even visual perception. For instance the Müller-Lyer visual illusion, which shows two lines of equal length where one is often perceived, at least by American undergrads, as longer than the other, is actually not an illusion at all for the San foragers of the Kalahari. The authors also note points of similarity like this one: in 37 populations, males tend to rank physical attractiveness of mates to be more important than do females.

The main plea from the researchers is that far too often these so-called WEIRD populations are actually the "outliers" and psychologists need to be less cavalier about labeling some behavior as human nature based on the desires, emotions and culture of a group of 19-year old co-eds.
