Blog #3 - RLS: Emojis are dumbing us down.

First Order:
* US library of congress accepted a 'translation' into emoji of Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
* It wasn't until 2006 that the three networks came to some kind of consensus.
* In October 2010, a hand-picked selection of 722 emoji characters were finally cemented into Unicode across sets such as..

Second Order:
* "[IN CONVERSATION] we tend to imply things instead of explicitly expressing them"

KQ:
* To what extent can an image cause miss communication?
* How can we know universal signs receive with the same emotion as they were intended.

Blog #4 - Somatic Marker Theroy

Simple, we have an amazing ability to make opinions based on emotions. The somatic marker theory suggests that we can remember ideas, feelings, and emotions to particular events and situations that make us formulate opinions on the situation. The way we interact with the world, stimuli refer to our senses, (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing) these are the sensory processes that tell the brain what to think in response to an Input, of which would be a situation (eating cake, being in a car crash), then the brain is the central processor that decides for an action, the brain does this thousands of times a day. In the end, it outputs out a motor process of in this case is an active memory, so when the same memory is repeated in life it can kick out the same motor response of emotion and reaction. By definition, we can say it is 'The link between emotions and decisions making. Damasio concludes that your choices are steered by your emotions.' - Our psychol

You would get the biggest compensation of $500, 000 but everyone else in the company would have to walk away empty-handed and jobless. What would you do? Devine Command Theory: this is a concept where you do what would be wanted by a supreme power that is tied to religion, faith, and beliefs.

The first aspect to talk about is about the idea of if the leader was nature the players in the game won’t they be essentially anything with a soul, it's not so much watching scientists struggle to make sense of observations but more so to create the observations for people to see. And the code created by nature that is the observation it dictates, it waits then on people to discover that sight, its nothing really to figure out but it is something we can eventually observe by chance or just pure luck. The role of the hypothesis is to formulate an accurate thought when we think we are accustomed to the if… then… because… the format of a question, where based on the past, the next move is... because of the feedback from ‘the world’. Then it becomes a trial and error play until the desired outcome is eventually achie
