Document Summary

We are not thinking machines that feel; rather, we are feeling machines that think. Consciousness is a mixture of what we thought were separate: emotion, logic etc. Antonio damasio said that the neuroanatomical areas are interconnected with our viscera. When you get rejected (being picked last for a team/romantically rejected), it hurts. But when you say that you"re hurt, it isn"t just a metaphor or social construct. When you are socially rejected, you process this more than at the high cognitive level but also through a straightforward set of physiological processes. You can change an experience of pain rejection with pain medication, since consciousness is a brain-body effort. Psychology sits at a nexus point between different disciplines. Environmental psychology: based on the macrosocial organization of the environment (the way we design streets etc) Cultural psychology: culture is embedded through the landscape - passed down socially. Do remember that each level of analysis has its own limitations.
