Bro, you do it too, you just don't admit it to yourself.
I don't do it to a point of being a complicit in electing Hitler 2.0. Which shouldn't be abhigh bar. But here we are!
Yeah that's what I thought, you're exhibit A.
🤷
Modern psychology and neuroscience agrees with me. Eg. https://neurosciencenews.com/emotion-reason-decision-making-25803/
Or have a read of Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow if you want something a bit deeper.
The human brain is packed full of inescapable cognitive biases, many of which relate to emotions. They occur just as much for you as for me, and ignoring them or denying them just makes the problem worse.
Lololololololol. Whatever you're trying to say it's based on wine tasting. Lolololololol.
My last message to you is: go ahead and cry during old yeller. When it comes to politics, think.
Ah, ignoring evidence because it doesn't support your pre-existing views. Text-book case of confirmation bias 😊
You do know that people exist on a spectrum of behaviors,right? Oh why do I bother. Have at your emotions, but know that not everyone lets them dictate their actions like you.
Yes. My point is that everyone is on the spectrum, and a purely rational mode of decision-making does not exist in humans. Every decision has emotional components.
I never said that decisions are purely emotional.

And that means plenty of people do not let them dictate their thoughts and actions. That's what I said from the start. To which you responded "Bro, you do it too, you just don't admit it to yourself." So no, I don't let them dictate my thoughts and actions.
Ok really I can't even in this conversation. Best I can figure is you're arguing against a strawman. Ciao. For real.
