#MedievalBrain #s9 Q&A history of emotions as a field is getting us to think abt context from the very start, & what behaviors/signals mean

#MedievalBrain #s9 Q&A in hundreds of years from now, what will ppl thing of our treatments and our DSM5 etc.?

#MedievalBrain #s9 Q&A monastic ideas of internalizing moral ideals; not just external acting/showing but also q of internalization

#MedievalBrain #s9 Q&A early medieval ideals of sanctity can be a range of things (makes me think: no "master text" for baselining normal?)
