Also, seems like a misuse of the phrase "emotional intelligence". I mean, this article is talking precisely about suppressing an emotional response and using your intellect instead and how important it is. Or maybe emotional intelligence is just a misnomer in general and this is what it always means, not being emotional in order to gain an advantage through intelligence? I don't know, but there's cognitive dissonance for me in that "emotional intelligence" always vaguely implied to me a different, privileged type of "intelligence" that's better that regular "intelligence" and this article is implying that emotions just make intelligence worse. If I think about what I really believe, I think when people in other contexts talk about lack of emotional intelligence, I guess that how I might rephrase the problem is that people who are identifying as unemotional are frequently really not; they are motivated by their own emotions to the point where they confuse them for objectivity. Which leads back to the idea that pausing could help you detach from that.
