Reached for: Bacon
“I don't trust what I feel. Half the time I don't think the reading's even accurate.”
Emotional signal is treated as unreliable data and held down at the source, with every interpretation of one's own inner state kept permanently under suspicion. The distrust was manufactured in a family that denied what was plainly happening while forbidding any expression of it, so a child's accurate readings were contradicted until the instrument itself came into doubt. What it asks for is one feeling reported without a disclaimer attached.
Uzzah, who put out a hand to steady the ark on pure instinct and was struck down for the reflex. The form implies a task of trusting one reflex and finding that nothing falls.
