hey run into more variation in people than they do in electrons
...and...
We found a heckuva lot of variation in, say, various physical substances, before figuring out the atomic and subatomic particles
Exactly! People are more complicated than electrons, because two electrons are more complicated than one electron, and people have way more electrons (and other stuff) than that. But that doesn't mean we should try to find answers. Some of the best questions may have no answers, but the things we discover along the way as we search for an answer, can more than cover the trip expenses.
I really like their perspective on Freud. Nice try, thanks for playing, here's a bunch of information you didn't have, we'll take it from here.
I liked this book a lot...but then you knew that already, CJ.
I like the attempt to find the underlying principles of (human) emotions. The title is a bit of an overstatement, if you're expecting a complete theory, but it seems like it headed in a very useful direction. The book has helped me clarify some of my thoughts around emotions and relationships, and it continues to do so as I continue to absorb its implications.
