Episode 3594: What if humanity’s greatest strength — rational thought — is also the source of our deepest disconnection?

What if humanity’s greatest strength — rational thought — is also the source of our deepest disconnection?In his book "How The Rational Mind Repressed The Emotional Mind Into Submission Once We Got The Spoken Word", engineer, philosopher, and systems thinker Chet Shupe explores how emotional intelligence once guided human life — and how the rise of language, laws, and rational systems slowly displaced that ancient wisdom. Drawing on evolutionary insight, psychology, spirituality, and cultural reflection, Shupe challenges the assumption that reason alone should govern human behavior.We discuss: How emotional intelligence shaped early human connection The hidden cost of civilization and social systems The origins of shame, disconnection, and spiritual mistrust What it means to rediscover emotional wisdom in the modern world Shupe’s work invites us to question long-held beliefs about progress, morality, and belonging — not with easy answers, but with deep reflection and human compassion.This is a powerful conversation for anyone who feels something essential has been lost — and is searching for what it truly means to be human.AMAZONhttps://www.spiritualfreedompress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/kccs.mp3
