Marvin Minsky's “The Emotion Machine” (Habra translation, Round Two)

Hello, Habr!
A year ago, we did an excellent job. Koryavyenko, half, but still excellent. The noosphere sent me a signal that it was time to finish it to the end. I thought no one needed this work, but a week ago a famous science-fiction writer-cyberpunker asked me, when will the transfers continue? I replied that the main fighter was taken into the army a year ago and until the transfer is expected. And 10 hours after my reply, I receive a letter: "I returned from the army, ready to resume transfers."
Theses:
- We are born with many mental resources.
- We learn to interact with others.
- Emotions are different Images of Thinking.
- We learn to think about recent thoughts.
- We learn to think at various levels.
- We are gaining tremendous experience.
- We are switching between different Images of Thinking.
- We find various ways of representing things.
- We build various models of ourselves.
