Quite an interesting article about the false reason / emotions dichotomy: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2014/09/18/emotion-is-not-the-enemy-of-reason/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2014/09... > It’s true, as I wrote about last week, that emotions can bias our thinking. What’s not true is that the best thinking comes from a lack of emotion. “Emotion helps us screen, organize and prioritize the information that bombards us,” As well as http://mitp.nautil.us/article/157/feelings-what-are-they-and-how-does-the-brain-make-them http://mitp.nautil.us/article/157/feelings-what-are-they-and... > This realization turns the scientific language of emotion on its head. What are commonly called emotion functions in humans and animals are not emotional functions at all. They do not exist to make feelings. They are survival functions essential for the continued life of the individual or the species.
