> Emotions are not inputs, they are outputs first.

i never said emotions were inputs. The gas exchange and the resulting reaction or "thoughts" or "emotions" have uncountable inputs. Some people don't have the ability to "put themselves in someone else's shoes", some people do. Some people can see pictures in their "mind's eye" and some can't.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing, based on your last sentence.
