    Yes sometimes I feel like I can rely on my quiet brain for logical reasoning

      I can’t.

      99% of my mind is emotional or monkey logic. Getting it to accept logic is like trying to tame a bunch of cats. It works, so long as you can feed them enough dopamine. Fail, and they’ll want to eat your face.

        I think that’s the human condition. Don’t studies show that most decisions are made on emotion and rationalized afterwards?

          It’s fast vs slow brain (there is a scientific term for it, don’t remember right now). Fast brain is what kept us alive. What’s that? Tiger! What’s that? Bear! Immediate fight/flight/fornicate decision tree.

          Slow brain helped us build tools and fire.
