Trust me. The emotion is still there. Slowing things down is for everyone's safety. Haha. I am a Leo with a Scorpio rising (its a lot of a lot). BTW, its 4:40 am here...sigh

Well, that explains a lot. ;) I don't like to assume an essentialism to my nature. I am what I am based on my collected experiences, educations, family etc. and not merely some "natural" or pre-given state. well, I at least like to think I am product of my accumulated living thus suggesting I have the ability to continue to evolve and even transcend my particular status and mode of being.

Being precedes essence after all. That wont be difficult as Stephen Hawking declared philosophy is dead.

Sturgeon's Law ("90% of everything is crap") - Most scientists know very little about philosophy, and tend to run into some crappy philosophy, and then assume that all philosophy is equally crappy. For example, what parts of philosophy are most familiar to physicists? One thing is, every physicist I know has heard of the Sokal hoax, which means that they are familiar with really dumb extreme postmodernism. Or in physics you sometimes encounter mediocre philosophers of science, who have strong opinions about things like quantum mechanics and string theory and multiple universes, but where they obviously don't understand what they're talking about (they never successfully learned the relevant math and physics).

Of course, whenever you do science, you are implicitly anchored in a philosophy of science. But for most scientists, most of the time, the relevant philosophical principles are "obvious" ones, like "there are laws of physics", or "avoid overfitting". So they do not require interacting with modern-day philosophers.

I really liked Truth and Method By Gadamer. Science is riddled with a few problems.
