Only vertebrates have adaptable immune systems - the subtitle is incorrect (I was stumbling over my words but I was saying that "In vertebrates, immune systems learn and so they're adaptable." Invertebrates do not have an adaptable immune system.

Emotions, like she said, have no meaning, except for the meaning we give it in the moment and that we then add on later through memory. We should by evidence, understand that emotions, come and go and as she says clearly, and I agree, they do not belong to us, nor are they constructed by one alone. Emotions are and can be transmitted from generation to generation. They arise and are given meaning through ignorance and through personal interpretation, based on what we have learned or been taught. The main point would be to understand and give no meaning to the emotions. We can just allow them to manifest, to exist and to pass through, but we don’t because we identify erroneously with all our emotions and we do that with our feelings, perceptions and of course our thoughts. All of which are finite and ephemeral.

Three brilliant lectures by Lisa Feldman Barrett with many, for me, new insights. I only miss the distinction between people and animals. Being able to observe the concepts placed in our model of reality and manipulate them. This allows us to think in metaphors.

Excelente trabajo, vengo siguiendo la teoría de las emociones construidas desde el año 2018 después de leer la "La vida secreta del cerebro", y realicé mi tesis doctoral en filosofía sobre las condiciones históricas que permiten la aparición del discurso científico de las emociones construidas.

The first belief is a strawman! People expressing 'unexpected' facial expressions or not expressing emotions on their faces when they're expected to do so does not refute anything; it merely points to the fact that humans can supress their facial expressions or modify them to fit in or obey the rules of the social environment they're in: e.g a child may not express anger on their face perhaps because it may be frawed upon to do so.
