Mr. Davies’s Reviews > How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain > Status Update

In a sense, the classical view wrenched human nature away from religion and placed it into the hands of evolution.

Interoceptive sensations (the state of your body) are really predictions …
They drive our construction of reality (and “rationality”)
And build up into “emotion”

The human brain is wired for this sort of delusion, in part because Moment-to-moment interoception infuses us with affect, which we then use as evidence about the world.
