As boredom nearly always leads to unpleasantness and bad deeds, while selfconsciousness leads to unhappiness and bad art, you can see why jigsaws, sheds, knitting and sudoku are the bedrock of civilisation.
Like the royals, they mostly married each other; as one Rothschild put it, "For us Jews, and particularly for us Rothschilds, it is better not to come into contact with other families, as it always leads to unpleasantness and costs money".
That, at times, has led to significant unpleasantness.
More importantly, and consistent with earlier findings (e.g., Holmes & Mathews, 2005), negative images led to higher unpleasantness ratings than did verbal descriptions.
Focusing on the unpleasantness of pain did not lead to significant changes in any brain regions, except for small clusters in visual cortex and in subcallosal ACC.
This general unpleasantness has resulted in occasional lapses in judgment that lead to piss-poor optics; for instance, his disastrously unfunny criticism of a traditional South Indian breakfast, which he somehow saw fit to liken to prison food.
In the development of pain theory the affective dimension of pain has been divided into an initial stage (A1) of 'immediate unpleasantness or discomfort' and a later stage of emotional outcomes (A2) that may lead to behavioral outcomes [ 3- 6].
Therefore, even though participants were not explicitly instructed to focus on the affective consequences, this higher involvement may lead to an implicit activation of the affective-motivational parts of the pain matrix to an extent that was similar as during the explicit unpleasantness ratings.
It led to a bit of unpleasantness afterwards, but last week @HarryBorcus made a compelling reading of an atheist subtext this year, which could of course be co-incidental.
Its production might give rise to unpleasantness.
