INDISPENSABLE GADGETS: Reflecting on the Mechanism of Emotion

IMAGE: A radiant point of light surrounded by multiple scars 
and a mutant poem about human emotion

Aiko:    (gazing at the image) This looks like a shattered heart.

Bai-Luo: Well, that happens to everyone's heart from time to time . . . .

POEM:

    Human hearts err sech strange machinus: 
    easely brokyn uften mess
    understuid sumetimes forgotten
    yit hird ta overlook.

    Wathout thum we'd b robots
    und tho wirld wyuld c
    ease ta b alive.

    Aye um glud to haf a hyman
    harte oven theugh ut wirks
    amperfect und guts bingled up
    much af tha thyme.

RESPONSE:

Cindy:   Yeah – healing is a miracle. It's amazing how much some people recover.

Aiko:    Many people don't seem to heal – they just accumulate scars.
