what do you call something that is the problem (not problem per say, just can't think of a better word), the underlying cause (the part that isn't 100% taken into consideration), and the what to bridge the consious and unconsious? I'm thinking about this like this: emotions are the initial stimulus to a situatin (anger, hate, happiness, etc), feelings are teh interpretations of those emotions (the past experiences, insecurities, etc), and then a quote like “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” ties the two together

You're describing a triadic structure that moves from automatic/unconscious → processed/interpreted → conscious integration. Here are some terms that might fit:

For the three-part structure itself:

• Stimulus-Process-Integration model
• Response-Interpretation-Resolution framework
• Impulse-Mediation-Wisdom triad

For each component:

1. Emotions (your "problem/stimulus"): Primary response, visceral reaction, affective impulse, or somatic signal
2. Feelings (underlying cause/interpretation): Cognitive appraisal, subjective interpretation, psychological mediation, or meaning-making layer
3. Quote (bridge to conscious): Integrative principle, corrective wisdom, regulatory insight, or metacognitive anchor

Given your example with the John Adams quote acting as a reality check against emotional reasoning, you might call the quote the "corrective principle" or "grounding truth" - something that pulls the unconscious-to-conscious process back to objective reality.

Another framing: React → Reflect → Recalibrate, where the quote provides the recalibration.

Or in neuroscience terms: Limbic activation → Cortical processing → Prefrontal integration, with the quote serving as a tool for that final integration step.

Neurological isn't obvious unless it's observed (like schroderder's cat) whereas psychological is known but not aware (like complacency)

Single-Concept: in-depth on one specific concept. A single concept is broadened out to multiple supporting sub-themes.

Multi-Concept: Multi concepts are a collection of sub-concepts focused into one theme.

Theme: A broader domain, area of focus, or organizing subject

Concept: A specific, defined idea or principle that can be understood as a single unit

Single-Concept: One → Many

• Start with ONE core concept and explore it deeply across multiple supporting sub-themes
• Flow: One concept (optimal consciousness) → explored across sports, work, creativity, relationships, etc.
• Extreme Ownership: One principle (complete responsibility) → applied to leadership, decision-making, team dynamics, crisis management
• PTG: One phenomenon (growth from trauma) → explored across different types of growth, conditions, therapeutic applications

Multi-Concept: Many → One

• Gather MULTIPLE related concepts/strategies under one unifying theme
• Art of Impossible: Four concepts (motivation, learning, creativity, flow) → unified theme of peak performance
• How to Win Friends: Various social techniques → unified theme of relationship building
• Atomic Habits: Multiple habit strategies → unified theme of behavior change

This captures the structural difference perfectly. Single-Concept books are deep dives - they take one thing and show you all its facets. Multi-Concept books are comprehensive guides - they collect related tools around a central organizing theme.

It's about the direction of exploration: radiating outward from one core idea versus gathering inward around one central purpose.

Philosophical Layer: The Bridge (Conscious, Direct/Explicit)

Psychological layer: The Observable (Preconscious, Indirect/Explicit)

Neurological layer: The Context (Subconscious, Indirect/Implicit)

What about Direct/Implicit? Could there be something you're directly experiencing but can't articulate. This is the hook/title of the video.

1. Conscious - What you're actively aware of right now; your current thoughts, perceptions, and feelings

2. Preconscious - Information that's not currently in your awareness but can be easily brought to consciousness (like what you had for dinner last night)

3. Unconscious - Deeply repressed memories, desires, and impulses that are not easily accessible and influence behavior indirectly through dreams, slips of the tongue, and psychological symptoms

Freud used the famous iceberg metaphor to describe these three levels - the conscious is the visible tip above water, the preconscious is just below the surface, and the unconscious is the vast submerged portion hidden beneath
