What would be the implications on decision-making, beliefs, and actions of a metaphysics that is structured as follows?:
-
All beliefs, ideas, actions, etc. are driven by feelings.
-
Reasons are descriptions of feelings.
-
Language fails to fully capture the sensational qualities of feelings.
-
Decision-making, belief adoption, etc. cannot be bounded by language. Some initial ideas: -I act in a way that makes me feel a sense of balance. -I believe what enables me to act in a way that makes me feel a sense of balance. -I structure my perception of the world, decisions, and actions out of this goal-driven pursuit of feeling a sense of balance. -I do not have access to information/ideas/actions/etc outside of this. Here is a map of what this would look like: Emotional Awareness branches out into Balance and Map. OODA loop connects emotional awareness to the ideas of balance and of a map. I observe how I feel (emotional awareness), orient my map to fit this feeling, decide how to act / what to believe / what information to take in based on how the map makes me feel that I would feel more balanced, and act in accordance with the decision.
A few questions leap to mind.
What do you mean by "balance"? Why optimise for the feeling of "balance"?
