I strongly agree (though I'd lose the antagonistic term "battle"). See my profile :)

- alexryan 9y agoNice reads. I have this hypothesis that thinking is layered on top of our two primal emotional strategies for stress: connection and aggression become diffuse mode (how is it similar?) and focused mode (how is it different?). When i use the word “battle” I am suggesting repurposing aggression so that instead of directing it at each other in defense of our positions and ego (system 1 thinking) we are working together synergistically in a battle for the truth which will enable us to solve the problem (system 2 thinking). i.e. Turning a zero sum game into a positive sum game.
