I agree with you.
It often has very bad effects.
You know, Martha Nussbaum notices this about anger and she's like, Let's get rid of anger
Right.
And Gil Harmony was like, let's get rid of guilt.
Rudiger Bittner has a paper.
Let's get rid of regret.
Like, don't let anyone ever regret anything, right?
Which is a little close to the guilt case.
Uh Arnold Eisenberg has a paper.
Let's get rid of shame.
And like I get why people want to get rid of these things, because they're negative emotions and they are all like they're they're sort of they're sort of counterproductive when they show up in one's life and when they show up at a political level, they're counterproductive.
But I think
that our emotions are our kind of moral sensibility and there's something really there that we're sensing, at least some of the time, and I wouldn't want to lose my sense faculty for that.
Yeah, and maybe there's something else that you said that strikes me as very right, which is
Feeling guilty is not doing anything in terms of penance or sometimes people seem to think that like just by feeling guilty you've accomplished some kind of moral achievement.
Right.
So I agree with you on that one.
But maybe that actually there's a lesson there, which is that extraordinary claims require not only extraordinary evidence, but a kind of extraordinary presentation.
Because the thing is, first of all, you didn't listen to just anyone, you listened to Tom who knows stuff, right?
