AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

Thanks for the study, I only glossed over it, but it does indeed fit with the view I fundamentally have there as well. My own personal, more philosophical speculation added on top being, that the observed guilt and resentment, for example, are - again, in my own opinion, not stated as fact - intertwined with the foundation of language and being born into language. Interesting here, I think, is that children from traumatic upbringings without language acquisition, so-called "feral" children, do lack this aspect of mutual/joint commitment, as far as I know. But I am now starting to get out of my field of obsessive interest/expertise, myself.

Looking at behaviour of children in early childhood especially, can be very useful for some fundamentals, and using other Great Apes as a reference, can help a lot, too. But the older the observed humans get, the harder I think it is to use the observation, and studies have to be very carefully crafted. But I would agree, that it is part of the toolbox, as well as anthropological studies that can then be cross-referenced, and just because everything is always within a context, does not mean absolutely no things can be deduced from observations. (I realise now I made a mistake when I think I earlier said "basically impossible", when really it's just amazingly hard, and possible only for very general things).

PS. I know I was way out of my depth here. I really appreciate you taking the time to chat with me. It’s always nice to talk to somebody brainy.

Thank you, and you're welcome. In the end, I am also just another ND person on the internet, currently hyper-talkative about a special interest. So I don't know how much "brainy" is really fitting, I always think it might be too positive of a description - but I guess I can't escape that I am indeed prone to geeking out about the Humanities at times without a proper filter. That has definitely caused me to make mistakes before, too, so you shouldn't take my word where what I say is in clear contradiction with facts.
