It Takes a Logical Mind to Listen to Emotions

Logic and emotion are both important. But society often chooses one or the other, rather than having them work together. This occurs because society tries to attend to emotions rather than use them effectively. If I redress my logic in the hopes of appeasing someone who's "offended" we fail to reach a rational solution. If I maintain my logic absent the other person's emotions, their feelings are not being acknowledged. Neither works, yet logic and emotion must be compatible. I show how the proper way to use our emotions is to recast what we feel onto logical structure. This ensures we recognize emotions as critical evolutionary signals, while directing them towards constructive ends.Support the showBecome a Member at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialPremium members get access to the full member app. This includes data visualizations of the core concepts in each episode, a Study Space for learning fundamentals, and premium articles on Techniques and Mindsets.Members can also save personal notes, explore episode summaries and transcripts, search across episodes, track watch history and progress, and participate in the community forum.
