The other side of it is mediocrity. Emotions point in a direction. They don't inform the user of what knowledge, time and meaning that may be needed along the way. Emotional reasoning often directs people to a mediocre end, most commonly seen in failed indie video games or niche tech projects constantly worked on with no end in sight. People end up in nurturing tribes trying to follow an irrational direction without the higher meaning needed to convert a direction into a result.
