> The thing you call anger isn’t a distinctly programmed thing, but it’s a concise information point, and it gets updated by each new experience you have to better reflect your place in the world and your understanding of reality.

[...] it shows that if our emotional landscape is adequately trained, we can nudge our mind to align with the model of reality we want to create for ourselves. [...] If emotions really do act as probability calculators, we have to do our part to refine them and then intentionally involve them into a broader, more complete meta-rationalistic system of decision-making.
