Logic vs. emotion

[jkeny]

Are you now playing another childish game - I asked you first! It really is interesting to study your avoidance tactics. Straightforward questions. Any answers?

 

[SY]

Are such questions on your mind often?

[SY]

I can't help you without a dialog.

 

[firechief]

I think that I should jump in here, but I dont feel that I have anything to offer.

 

[SY]

Why do you not feel that you have anything to offer?

 

[wakibaki]

It's just a feeling. The trick is to recognise that what you feel to be the truth may not actually be the truth.

I don't feel that you have nothing to offer. Ignore SY's attempt to restimulate your negative past experiences.

Sy is fine, he's a butthead, but I think that there is hope for him.

We could desolve into examples of emotional outbursts. Just for the sake of science, but the sin bin has been so quiet lately that I hate go there. Mayhaps logic will prevail.

 

[jkeny]

Do you mean Mayhaps or misology - something pretty prevalent over the last number of pages

 

[firechief]

Misology[1] is defined as the fear or distrust of reason or logic. In that sense, it is the hatred of argument or debate or even speech. It is also defined sometimes as anti-intellectualism.

Had to look it up.

Is this the food thread? Because Rachael Ray is doing bacon wrapped drumsticks. Where is Cal when I need him?

 

[martyh]

Is there anything I can do to help...you know...without actually getting involved?

 

[Ron E]

What do you think the meaning is?

lol!

 

[firechief]

good question.

Stupid is as stupid does.

We all just doin' what we have to to get by.

To have a sense of humor is to be a tragic figure.

Tragic.

re:'Mayhaps logic will prevail.' - no, even David Hume realized that logic was subject to emotion. Interesting how many reactions here confirm the conclusions of the original article...

Yes , logic dictates that the discussion be "watched" ....( to avoid the sin bin).
Figure out that logic. Emotion is predictable (logical) once the variables are defined. "Con men" apply this concept with much success.
