This rings the most true. I think another way of saying it is that nuanced thinking is a luxury that can only be afforded when there is no imminent crisis. This corresponds pretty well to the whole System 1/2 framework most people have heard about via Daniel Kahneman. Calm considered thinking takes time and resources, so it's not employed when people are in a real, perceived, or chemically or physically induced state of crisis.
