It reminds me of Hamilton Morris talking to this guy who's been taking huge doses of PCP for years. He gets absolutely lit, and then does "art", which is highly meaningful to him, but... pretty much just to him. Some people never really learn the difference between the feeling of profound understanding that can occur while dreaming or high, with profound understanding.

good point! I just don't want the false positives to discourage us from trying to share our feelings just because it's difficult.

Sure, and I'm for limitless sharing of feelings, but in the context of, "Here are my feelings on 'X'."
