Passage #2

"Instead, human aggression stems from a tremendous number of different factors and now I am relying very much on empirical data-everything from unpleasant aromas-through internal states and individual differences."

The ennead box it fits into: "Mid-Sensorimotor"

Affective Cognitive Sensorimotor
Spiritual Self This passage has been useful to me, because I can relate to it. However, others may not agree with it. I agree a lot with this hypothesis, because it applies to me. However, I am not sure if it applies to a lot of other people. I assume that if it applies to me that it will probably apply to many other people. I get the impression that he did a lot of research in this area.
Reflective Self I want to find out more about the factors that tend to bring about aggressive impulses in me, so that I can be aware of them and get rid of them. I know from my own experience that I get more irritable when I feel crowded in, hot, if there is a lot of pollution, and especially when I am already upset about something. This guy seems to know what he is saying, because I feel that aggression can be caused by many fctors, including environmental conditions.
Automatic Self I agree with him. I want to know more of what he has to say on this topic. I believe that aggression can be a result of environmental conditions and internal states and individual differences. I think it can also be a combination of these factors. This is interesting. he may have a point there.
