Kind listener Havanaparasocialclub did a back-of-the-envelop sentiment analysis on some Decoding content. Some of you will have seen them in the chat channel but we felt they deserved a broader audience. And before you offer hot takes on conversation dominance remember Chris needs to introduce and contextualise all the clips!

Well done, Havanaparasocialclub!

Wait, Red Scare makes Matt happy?

This is great. I don’t remember Brené Brown prompting such contempt in Chris… maybe he needs to rest in the tender vulnerability of courageous self acceptance more until he gets her.

It’s very interesting. Quantitative research showed that Chris is more happy person than Matt and my world is shattered

Interesting work! Ignoring affect in the moment, emotional response is about the gap between prediction or expectation and experienced reality. I really liked Feldman-Barrett’s work on this. I guess the valence and intensity of these emotional responses depends on quite a matrix of factors! Did you find that there were times when the emotional response was either really strong or even indeterminate - e.g. a guru causing disbelief at one end or confusion at the other?

Nice! What did you use to do this @havanaparasocialclub?

Don't let Sean Carroll see how much contempt Chris has for him!

Contemptuous pricks 😜

I’d like an analysis like this on Sam Harris.

Sam Morris

The fascinating thing for me is the consistency across different gurus. It seems to say more about Matt and Chris’s character than it does about their view of each guru. I wouldn’t have predicted that.

Don Schaffner

This is fascinating. Thank you so much for doing this.
