Key Notes
He claims that the ordering of emotional categories generates worldview and identity, which then feeds back into perception and recall.
Jiang argues that people primarily remember what carries emotional value, which is why classroom content is forgotten more easily than charged social experience with friends.
Jiang affirms that memory naturally privileges what carries emotional value, while brute memorization is needed to retain disconnected facts.
Jiang's neuroscience framing divides the conscious mind from the subconscious and says the conscious self mainly rationalizes actions already determined by emotion.
In Jiang's model, emotions and memories are not stored in the brain but in an infinite universal mind or grid.
Jiang says the universe communicates through images that evoke emotion rather than through direct conceptual explanation.
Jiang says Dante's new vision has emotionally shaken him and now demands interpretation rather than simple dismissal.
