I saw this Twitter thread from Sarah and offered her to talk to her about it on a podcast, and Aaron volunteered to moderate.

I was more taking the position that all emotions are functional, and Sarah was approaching things from a more bio-realist perspective. Ultimately, I don’t think we disagreed about all that much once we hashed it out!

Some things we referenced:

* How Emotions are Made

* It’s not about the nail

* Ads don’t work that way

* Society is fixed, biology is mutable
