@visakanv bodies basically feel good or various kinds of bad if there are any bodies nearby feeling bad, the bad feeling will likely spread & escalate

@visakanv good feelings can also spread but it requires lots of careful attention

@RichDecibels true in my experience! that seems to imply/suggest that there's utility in some sort of bad-feeling containment tho then the tricky thing is that one can go too far and then make bad feeling worse bc isolation, alienation once you're skilled u can learn to process and share...

@visakanv yup bad feelings can be contained (OK), suppressed (not great), or met and metabolised into good feelings (great)

@visakanv in the ideal social context the meeting & metabolising happens effortlessly, you have to really dig your heels in to not go along with it

@visakanv bodies also create, read and update the terrain of status without thinking

@visakanv if two people are signaling bad feelings, the one with more status will have more impact on others
