Quick thought on emotional responses
Instead of being viewed as emotionally cold, the glib and mocking sentimentality of the meta-narrative should be viewed more as a way to defuse sentimentality that is too often faked. People aware of their awareness Act more consciously and, in effect, cheapen the emotion. Meta-narrative immediately re-examines an emotional moment in order to acknowledge the awareness but not necessarily to nullify the emotion.
100 years or 500 years ago, people were equally self-aware yet not so reactive to the conscious Acting. Why do we respond differently?
