Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
We never experience "thoughts," "feelings," "perceptions,"
"intuitions," "sensations," etc. We invent those categories after the fact. What we experience, nanosecond by nanosecond, consists of continuous synergetic reactions of the organism-as-whole to the environment-as-a-whole, including incoming verbal signals from others in the same predicament.
These incoming verbal signals also produce in us reactions of the organism-as-a-whole sometimes culminating in a return signal.
