> We have emotions, and sometimes an emotion tells us an idea is bad

And communicating those emotions is probably the most valuable thing a human can ever do! Those emotions is how you got where you are, they are what guide you when you yourself reason, not communicating them and helping others understand how you think and reason is such a waste!

Instead people here argue that we should be cold, make sure we don't communicate any emotions since then others might pick up on that, and boy it would be bad if others understands of you think! Really? Why would that be so bad?




Everything in moderation. Just because you feel an emotion doesn't mean you blurt it out to someone in your vicinity.

I'm interested in what even is the name of the emotion underlying "that idea is stupid". Is it surprise? Frustration? Anxiety?

I think it is valuable to communicate the thinking parts, not just the emotional parts. That was the main point I wanted to make.


Everything in moderation, including moderation.
