Antonio Damasio
The Affective Scheme
“Affect”: based on duration, intensity, origin
.
- Emotion: automated, physical programs of action triggered by stimuli; unconscious, universal, and brief; essentially biological data points.
- Feelings: conscious, subjective experience and mental labelling of an emotion; cognitive and personal; can be non-emotional (homeostatic or cognitive).
- Moods: sustained emotional states that are less intense but more lasting than emotions; backdrop that colours all other perceptions.
- Temperament: stable, trait-level disposition toward certain types of moods and emotions; biologically rooted and enduring over a lifetime, default emotional setting.

Bedroom, going to sleep, 12 July ’26
Less screen, more fire and water. Find a home on the road. Trade willingly. Pair your fair share. Do not steal; instead, kill your pride.
.
You are water, grass, ground, poison, ice, flying, fighting, electric, mind-using being. What you do with resource matters more than what you have.
.
It is all in the understanding that life without pressure is better and lighter. Understand narratives while creating them.
.
Victory road looks scary for a babyface. It is an exciting struggle. The elements provide questions and answers. There are useful lessons to be learned in the duels.
.
Now, we start to prepare with method and with feeling. There is no superior element, just balance. There is no superior phase, just the Xing.
.
The five, the four, the three, the two, the one, no one. Learn the language. Walk the way. Take what you must. Give with a good heart and a good mind. Evolve. Let go.
.
Clean up.

Mind Monkey,
