I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?
There is the theory that we feel emotions first and then we think only to justify the emotion.
This would imply that it isn’t the thinking that needs to be managed but the emotions.
Emotions aren’t good (or bad). They’re often like a heuristic. Fast but inaccurate. This is great when it’s like “a bear wandered into the house” and emotions say “RUN” and cold logic would be like “what? Why? How?” until you get mauled. It’s not good when it’s like “climate change makes me feel bad so I don’t believe in it”
heuristic
That’s a very fancy word, and I’m sure you’re proud of using it.
Now can you tell me how this word has importance in your everyday life?
