The Truth About Emotions

Basically, this video serves to dismantle the emoji type manner in which we view emotions and shows that all emotions find their origins in cognition, therefore if emotions are irrational and dysfunctional it is because the individuals cognition is likewise dysfunctional and furthermore, if cognition's can be questioned because we recognise that cognition's can be flawed, then unlike modern political and activist orthodoxy, emotions can be questioned as well because they do not simply arise out of nowhere to be taken as gospel truth and considered infallible and sacred like some spirit, but they find their origins in our cognition's and are constructed by us and therefore, we are responsible for their accuracy.

The following are only some resources on the subject, I naturally cannot link every single one but merely provide a start for research. Also, Professor Lisa Feldman's research brings together hundreds if not thousands of other research papers in the field so what you are getting is a distillation of a significant amount of research.
