"This is a confession. I love daytime TV. I smoke, even though I officially gave up years ago. I’m often late, and usually lie about why. And sometimes I feel good when others feel bad.

"The Japanese have a saying: “The misfortunes of others taste like honey.” […] In Hebrew enjoying other people’s catastrophes is 'simcha la‑ed'."

And so wondering about which areas would be high #Emotionality for me.

Hamas, Gaza, Ukraine, Trump, societal corruption, climate change, CleanAir, Covid public health measures, gross human rights abuses, Modi's India, racism, trans rights, indigenous rights are the obvious ones.

The current increase of #Emotionality in online spaces and in the streets of city centres will benefit those like Trump, De Santis, Johnsons Mike & Boris, Netanyahu, Putin, Orban, Erdogan, Braverman, Dutton et al by decreasing the amount of #FactChecking, #RationalThought and #CriticalAnalysis that folks do.

If you believe that increased emotions and what follows from them are what is needed then your path is obvious.

How would you recommend folk who think otherwise could well proceed?
