Scared vs. Powerful
Nate Silver, well known pollster was talking about the 2024 election with Ezra Klein Show for on YouTube for The New York Times.
I don’t want to get into politics, especially this 2024 race as extreme Mad, Scared, and Sad feelings are all the focus this year.
What I am interested in is how Silver and Klein talk about the physical feeling (interoception) of risk taking:
In the sense of FW 2.0 model there seems to be a tension between Scared and Powerful Feelings Interoceptively.
Here is a list of interoception experiences. Which ones do you think go with the “feeling of risk taking”?
I seems to me that most people with risk taking have Scared feelings, what Sliver talks about as “going on tilt”.
But when Silver talks about controlled body sensations that likely come with practice and personality traits, the body feelings are probably found in the Powerful sensations.
So if you want to get better at risk taking, learn to practice Powerful feelings (or at least learn to bridge between Scared and Powerful feelings) using Feelings Wheel 2.0!
