Contrary to Freud, it is extremely unlikely that any motivational mechanism could have been so blind and mismatched to reason and reality as the “id.” Contrary to cognitive theory, no motivational mechanism could have been so altogether docile and reasonable as we are being asked to believe. Affect is a loosely matched mechanism designed to play a number of parts in continuing changing assemblies of mechanisms. It is in some respects like a letter of an alphabet in a language, changing in significance as it is assembled with varying other letters to form different words, sentences, paragraphs. Further, the system as a whole has no single “output” … Affect is the bottom line for thought as well as perception and behavior … Affect is an end in itself, with or without instrumental behavior.
