Chapter 127: Pandora's "Meaning" XVIII

Gu Xiaolong has long had his own theories about the emotions of the intelligent human beings of the Blue Planet, and even the emotions derived from emotions.

When he was still very young, Gu Xiaolong was exposed to all the theoretical discourses on the psychology of the Blue Planet through the Internet, and once synthesized these discourses.

In particular, in terms of emotions and even feelings, a more novel and impactful assertion has been put forward: that is, the material nature of emotions and even emotions that lead to zhì.

This assertion is the first to combine emotions with the most basic matter - particles, and for the first time to connect the "primordial information" of the "primordial singularity".

The dialectical relationship between emotion and value is the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity, consciousness and existence, and the latter is the basic problem of philosophy, so the relationship between value and emotion is also the basic problem of value theory and emotion theory.

The relationship between value and emotion is a dialectical unity, which is mainly expressed in four aspects.

Emotions are based on value: emotions are people's subjective reflection of value, although this reflection will always have some deviations, and even have deviations and complete reversals, but on the whole, the change of emotions is always based on value and fluctuates up and down around value, just as the price of a commodity is based on its value and fluctuates up and down around its value.

Emotions are based on values. The main table xiàn is that the basic state of emotion depends on the basic state of value. The overall size of the emotion depends on the overall size of the value. The range of change of emotion depends on the range of change of value, the mode of action of emotion depends on the mode of action of value, the intensity and direction of emotion depend on the size and positive and negative of value, once the value changes, the emotion will change sooner or later.

For businessmen, mutually beneficial economic exchanges are the objective basis for maintaining and developing mutual affection, and without this reciprocity, the affection between businessmen cannot last;

For the political zhì family. Mutual support and cooperation on the political basis is the objective basis for maintaining and developing each other's feelings, and without this mutual assistance, the feelings between the political and family cannot be sustained;

For young men and women, mutual support and cooperation in work and life is the objective basis for maintaining and deepening love, without which love between men and women cannot last;

The friendship between friends mainly depends on the relationship of interests between them, and only by constantly deepening the relationship of interests between each other, the friendship will become deeper and deeper, if it is limited to vulgar gift exchanges, empty correspondence or false courtesies, and there is no specific content of interest connections. then friendship cannot last, and sooner or later it will fade;

Even though there is a deep affection between friends. If there is a fundamental conflict of interest between them, sooner or later their feelings will decay and eventually turn into hatred.

The reaction of emotions to value. Emotions are not completely passive to value, and can produce a certain degree of reaction on dù, which is mainly expressed in:

1) Emotions can prevent, suppress, induce, transfer, strengthen or induce people's need for a certain value in a certain way, and they can choose their living environment and development direction relatively autonomously.

People can sometimes consciously suppress themselves, and the lust for a certain value may really basically disappear after a long time, and people's objective needs for this value have indeed changed or shifted;

People are usually willing to take the initiative to help those who subjectively feel good, and take the initiative to establish a mutually beneficial interest relationship with them, while avoiding those who subjectively feel bad, and even intentionally interrupting the mutually beneficial interest relationship that already exists;

People sometimes quit or move when they are not happy with working or living in a certain place, and can quickly adapt to the new living and working environment.

2) Driven by emotion, people can exert a reaction force on things and increase their value. This is the fundamental difference between humans and other animals.

Of course, this reaction cannot be applied arbitrarily and indefinitely, but only conditionally and to a relatively limited extent, and it is subject to or subordinated to the decisive effect of value on emotion as a whole.

The value-creating activities carried out by people who are emotionally driven must strictly follow the basic laws of value and be carried out within the scope of their permission.

The relative independence of emotions and values. Human emotions are generated and run in the brain, which is inevitably restricted and interfered by many factors within the brain, so as to deviate from the value it reflects in a certain degree, and this deviation phenomenon of emotion is the relative independence of emotion, which is mainly expressed in the following aspects:

1) Temporal asynchronicity: If the form of value changes, the corresponding new emotion needs to lag for a period of time before it can be formed and developed.

In other words, the generation, development and disappearance of new emotions cannot keep pace with the generation, development and disappearance of new values, and need to lag for a period of time.

For example, when a stranger suddenly becomes your brother-in-law or brother-in-law, your affection for him usually doesn't build up right away;

It is common for people to be nostalgic or nostalgic for old friends who have passed away or passed away.

2) Differences in measurement: If the value quantity changes, it is difficult for the intensity of emotions to keep pace with it.

For example, some women change synchronously when they are hurt or abandoned by the man they love

3) Limitations in ApproachThe ways in which value relations can change are infinite, but the ways in which emotions can be reflected are limited.

People sometimes can't have emotions about some complex and implicit value relationships and their changes, and they show a numb mental state.

For example, when being harmed by certain toxic substances, people often do not feel it;

When attacked by the finger mulberry and scolding the acacia, people are sometimes kept in the dark;

When someone buys a product and is "gently" slaughtered by others, people may also thank him for his "preferential" price;

When faced with the catastrophe of annihilation, people may still be looking for joy.

4) Institutional alienation: Some special emotions are completely detached from the objective basis of value relations. Or even the opposite of it. This is due to a certain alienation of the human emotional mechanism.

For example. Deformed religion cultivates religious feelings of self-denial and social denial, psychotropic drugs produce eccentric, illusory, and uncontrollable emotions, excessive physical and mental stimulation leads to abnormal emotions, excessive physical pain causes patients to yearn for death, ethnic hatred easily leads to people's worship of war maniacs, extreme class struggle leads to extreme class hatred, and so on.

However, this phenomenon of emotional alienation is only partial, temporary, and relative on the whole.

The relative independence of emotions limits people's ability to adapt to complex value relationships. It limits people's ability to adapt to complex environments, but it will help to eliminate the interference of various external or internal factors on the emotional operation process, and help to maintain the continuity and stability of value consumption activities and value creation activities.

The complex correspondence between emotion and value. There is a complex correspondence between emotion and value, which is mainly expressed in the following aspects:

1) It is a functional correspondence of multivariate variables, rather than a functional correspondence of univariate variables, and the size of the emotion is not only related to the use value of things, but also to the labor value, labor time, and median value rate of the subject.

In fact, the intensity of emotions fluctuates on the basis of the difference in the value rate of things, and only when the labor value and labor time invested in things remain unchanged, and the median value rate of the subject remains unchanged, does emotion completely depend on the use value of things.

b) It is a correspondence of statistical probability. Rather than a correspondence of individual dynamics, the reason why green can make people feel peaceful and tranquil is that not all green things have this value. Rather, in most cases, the green things that people come into contact with are plants and trees, and plants and trees can bring peace and tranquility to people in most situations.

3) It is a kind of co-directional correspondence in time, rather than a synchronous correspondence in time, the change of value and the change of emotion usually exist in a time difference, the establishment of emotion takes time, and the disappearance of emotion also takes time, only high-level emotion with a high degree of foresight can be actively established before the value is established, and can be actively disappeared before the value disappears.

4) It is a correspondence of connection, not an isolated correspondence Once a person has established a direct value relationship with something and has a direct emotion on this basis, he must have established an indirect value relationship with other things related to that thing in a certain way, and produce a corresponding relational emotion or indirect emotion.

This is how the so-called emotional phenomena such as "love the house and the black" and "hate the house and the black" are generated.

5) It is a multi-form value correspondence, rather than a single-form value correspondence, and the value relationship of the same thing may be multi-content, and people's emotions towards things often show diversity.

For example, the same food may contain multiple chemical components that have multiple therapeutic or nutritional effects on the body, or it may have multiple side effects, and people may have mixed feelings about it.

6) It is a multi-level value correspondence, rather than a single-level value correspondence, and the value relationship of things may be multi-level, and people's emotions towards things often show multi-levelness.

For example, in addition to the value of keeping out the cold, wind, and heat, clothes also have the value of safety and health, have artistic aesthetic value, and can reflect personal identity, ability, characteristics and social status, so that people's emotions about clothes are usually multi-layered.

7) It is aimed at the value characteristics of things, not on other characteristics of things, and people's feelings for things are completely dependent on its value characteristics, not on its other characteristics, and as long as the value characteristics of the thing remain unchanged, no matter what changes occur in other characteristics, people's emotions will not change.

Conversely, if the value characteristics of a thing change, no matter how stable the other characteristics are, the person's emotions will change. For example, although a photo has turned yellow and rotten, its owner still cherishes it a hundred times; A piece of fashion, despite not having any breakage, may no longer be of interest to its owner.

8) It is a dynamic correspondence, not a static correspondence, everything is in motion and change, and the value of anything is also in motion and change. The emotions of everything are bound to move and change.

It is impossible for one to treat anything with eternal and unchanging emotions. Eternal love is just an ideal and a wish for man. In fact, there is no zài. (Eternity here means no change.) Unlike the everyday, which is eternal and contains normal changes. Talking about dynamic and static is discussed here. ）

9) It is a complex, unified correspondence of opposites, and love and hate.

For example, parents often have love for their children that "hate iron does not make steel";

There is love in hate, for example, people often have an "admiring" hatred for their competitors.

10) It is a non-linear correspondence: the intensity of emotions is usually not proportional to the value of things, but usually only to the logarithm of the value of things.

11) It is a correspondence of three factors, not a single factor, and the magnitude of the value depends not only on the quality characteristics of things, but also on the quality characteristics of the subject and its surroundings. Therefore, the subject's emotions are determined by three factors: the subject, the object, and the environment, rather than by one of them alone. For example, a tiger in a normal situation can induce a sense of fear, but a tiger in a cage in a zoo does not induce a sense of fear, but rather an aesthetic sense.

The correspondence between affective patterns and changes in value. The relationship between emotion and value is the relationship between subjective and objective, no matter how erratic human emotion is, it can find its value counterpart, any change in emotion can find its objective motivation from the change of value relationship, and the different modes of expression of emotion correspond to different changes in value.

However, the correspondence between affective patterns and value changes is not simple, mechanical, static, uniformal, linear, and synchronous. Rather, it is a complex, dialectical, dynamic, multi-formal, non-linear, and asynchronous relationship.

According to the different value goals, people's emotional expression modes can be divided into four categories: emotions towards things, emotions towards people, emotions towards oneself and emotions towards special things.

The value of things in general to people (strictly speaking, the rate of value) is a variable. It can change in two ways: one is an increase in value (including an increase in positive value or a decrease in negative value); The second is the decrease in value (including the decrease in positive value or the increase in negative value).

According to the different ways of change and changing tense of the value of things, the emotion towards things can be divided into eight specific forms, as shown in the following table:

Increasing or decreasing value - nostalgia for or boredom with the past; Satisfaction or disappointment with the past will be completed; Hope or anxiety about the future.

Affection for others is related not only to the way in which the value of others changes and the changing tense, but also to the relevance of the interests of others. According to the different ways of changing the value of others, the changing tense and the relevance of interests, the emotion towards people can be divided into 16 specific forms, as follows:

Interest correlation has interest positive correlation and interest anti-correlation, and the increase of interest decreases, increases and decreases.

There will be nostalgia or regret for the past; resentment or contempt for the past; There will be admiration or disappointment for past completions, jealousy or rejoicing; There will be trust or concern about the future, and there will be scruples or ridicule.

People's feelings towards themselves depend on how their values change and how they change. According to the different ways of change and changing tense of one's own value, one's feelings towards oneself can be divided into eight specific forms, as shown in the following table:

The increase or decrease in value includes: pride or shame in the past, pride or self-blame for the completion of the past; Developing self-confidence or low self-esteem for the future.

Some things have a certain special value meaning, which triggers a certain special emotion in people.

(1) Emotions for the evaluation of others

When others evaluate their future thoughts, behaviors, and physiological states in a certain way (such as language, writing, expressions, behaviors, etc.), people will develop specific emotions.

1. Shame and grievances: When the evaluation of others with positive interests is higher than the actual level, people will have feelings of shame, and vice versa.

2. Awkwardness and humiliation: When others with negative interests evaluate themselves higher than the actual level, people will have awkward emotions, and vice versa.

(2) Affection for social activities

1. Grace and guilt: When interacting with people who are positively related to interests, if the value of their own payment is greater than the value paid by the other party, people will have the emotion of gratitude, otherwise they will have the emotion of guilt.

2. Humiliation and hatred: When interacting with people with negative interests, if the value of one's own payment is greater than the value paid by the other party, the person will have the emotion of humiliation, otherwise the emotion of hatred will be generated.

(3) Emotions towards uncertain things

1. Attention, indifference and vigilance: When things may produce positive, zero and negative values, people will have the emotions of concern, indifference and vigilance respectively.

2. Sense of worship, mystery and fear: When things have positive uncertain, zero value uncertain and negative uncertain values (that is, the average probability of value is positive, zero and negative respectively), people will have a sense of worship, mystery and fear.

(4) Emotions about one's own state

1. A sense of security, loneliness and crisis: When one's own value is in the positive, worthless and negative value roles of others, people will have a sense of security, loneliness and crisis respectively.

2. Sense of responsibility and dependence: when the value of others is subject to their own value, people will have a sense of responsibility; On the contrary, when one's own value is subject to the value of others, one will develop a sense of dependence.

3. A sense of belonging and loss: when one's own value is attached to the value of others or society, people will have a sense of belonging; Conversely, when one's own value is separated from the value of others or society, one will develop a sense of loss. Among them, the sense of loss of power refers to the emotions that arise when one's own value is separated from the political value of society, and the sense of lovelorn refers to the emotion that arises when one's own value is separated from the value of the opposite sex.

4. Sense of identity: When one's own value and the value of others belong to a larger value system, people will have a sense of identity with others.

5. Sense of honor: When one's own value belongs to a larger value system and is recognized and valued by it, people will have a sense of honor.

6. Helplessness and boredom (or emptiness): When one's value is in a negative state or a zero value state and cannot be changed, people will have a sense of helplessness and boredom (or emptiness) respectively.

7. Shyness and embarrassment: When others with positive and negative interests evaluate themselves[1], value choices and value roles, people will have a sense of shyness and embarrassment, respectively.

Darwin believed that the state of the human organism and the development of the biological organism is a process of continuous evolution, which is manifested in the continuous differentiation and increase of biological species, the continuous complexity and order of cell structure, and the deepening and strengthening of organizational functions.

The development of human emotions is also inevitably a process of continuous evolution, with the specific expression of the expression of emotions constantly differentiating and increasing, the hierarchical structure of emotions becoming more complex and orderly, and the behavior-driven functions of emotions constantly evolving and strengthening.

Applying the basic ideas of the philosophical theory of evolution to the field of emotions forms the scientific theory of the evolution of emotions. The establishment of a scientific theory of emotion evolution is of great theoretical significance for exploring the logical structure and operation mechanism of emotion, realizing scientific emotion calculation, and developing the true meaning of emotion.

Since emotion is the subjective reflection of human value relations, then the evolution of emotions fundamentally originates from the evolution of value relations, that is, the evolution of human value relations promotes the evolution of human emotions, and the development process of human value relations has both slow quantitative and rapid qualitative changes, it is a long, tortuous, natural, hierarchical, and phased evolutionary process, then the development process of human emotions must also have both slow quantitative changes and rapid qualitative changes, and it is also a long, tortuous, natural, A hierarchical, staged evolutionary process.

It is unscientific and idealistic to regard emotions as unique to human beings, and it is also mechanical and dogmatic to simply divide emotions into two categories: instinctive emotions and active emotions. (To be continued......)
