I think real intelligence by definition requires empathy and humility, which is typically the opposite of such dogmatism in my opinion.
“As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.” -Sloman and Fernbach
My feelings about capitalism are largely fueled by how well I understand it. When I understood it less, I didn’t mind it as much
I don’t like this quote
Yeah, if strong emotions were such a liability then we probably wouldn’t have them anymore. Emotions aren’t vestigial or useless or contrary to rational discourse, they’re an integral part of what it means to be sentient and sapient, and they can be incredibly useful when doing things that are decidedly “rational.” I can tell that some code I wrote is shit because it “feels wrong” a hell of a lot faster than I can by logically reasoning it out.
I’m hoping that quote is simply lacking context. The alternative is that the people behind the quote are just fucking insufferable.
I don’t think I could restate this any better. So many people hear about “logical brain” and “emotional brain” and just start trying to eliminate any emotion from logic.
Brother the entire reason we invented homes was because we didn’t fuckin like the alternative. But if we used logic way back in cave man time, it would have been more individually efficient to burn those logs for warmth. It took emotions to get us to the next step and then realise that it was more systemically efficient to burn logs inside of a little cabin and only then could we start applying logic to housing.
Emotions are so important
intelligence has nothing to do with empathy or humility, it is a measure of knowledge and problem-solving. lying about the contents of posts and pretending you are justified is not intelligent, even if you add a quote.
