The website is exceptionally done, but it might be worth considering that the idea of there being a basic set of five emotions...is a very Western view of things.

There's at least some evidence[1] that our brains and bodies do not come pre-wired for certain emotions, and that instead they are dynamically wired through specific social and cultural contexts.

"Talking about out emotions as internal experiences is quite exceptional in the world. People in many cultures talk about emotions as public, social, and relational than people do in contemporary Western cultural contexts. In cultures remote from our own in time and place, emotions are often seen as acts in the social and moral world" (from [1])

Loonshots[1] has a chapter on the impact Bush had on the war and generations of national research afterwards. It's crazy to think he did the things he did, when he did them.

If you’re undercover with your camera off in a meeting, how do you think a lone person with their camera on feels?

Like they should probably turn off their camera too?

One way to filter out people whose input you can safely ignore, is to see who stands to lose the most if you do what they ask you to do. People who've been through what you're trying to do are more likely to have their skin in the same game, and are more likely to give you useful, actionable input.

Not everyone who has opinions on your problem is a stakeholder.
