I would phrase this, "that emotions carry a cognitive weight" they are
of value in judgements....... ..... Sometime most of the value, sometime
very little. Sometimes this is is moral, sometimes not. In love for
instance, or physics for that matter, emotions can and do play a part in
the process. I think the point I was trying to convey was that direct
experience prior to intellectual abstraction by definitions is made up
of all of these values. And often the focusing on one level's influence
or control of a particular pattern can lead to misinterpretations of
reality. It becomes an SOM slice and dice exercise. A causes B, while
reality is infinitely more subtle and direct.
