alt Hacker News> If you got this far, then you might be wondering what any of this has to do with Corporations using emotional insights that they collect from people.
I read the whole thing and I'm still not getting it.
More broadly, yes emotions are meant to be shared. As someone with emotions, I'm already aware of this. I'm broadcasting mine right now... underwhelm.

One of the beliefs that I conjured up, is that we're broadcasting these signals whether we intend to or not.
There's a lot of conflict around sharing emotional signals intentionally without realizing we're already doing that.
I personally believe that emotions are best to be understood regardless of what party is considering them, businesses, partners, society, etc.

I read it that strong emotions have a signature that's processed differently in the context of data points vs the context of human interaction in meatspace.
It feels to me like an intro to a deeper insight that's missing the main body of the piece.
