looking for damasio

"The maps work for problems of a certain degree of complexity and no more; when the problem gets too complicated—when it requires a mixture of automated responses and reasoning on accumulated knowledge—unconscious maps no longer help and feelings come in handy." Looking for Spinoza, p. 177.

Feelings seem to be a kind of shorthand for a huge mass of body monitoring information.
