What if emotion can convert an incorrect view into a correct view? This thought popped in my head bc of the story of your court case where you won by appealing to “doing everything right and still getting screwed” bc you only had an email address and no address to serve.
The more emotional someone is when expressing a view, the more likely it is that that view is incorrect.

That's an interesting thought. I think emotional appeals are convincing, but I'm not sure that means they signal the truth. In my case, while I was showing emotion and I was pissed, I unemotionally calculated that showing emotion was a calculated risk.

I read this article a few years ago that I haven’t been able to dig up, but the takeaway was “if you have very strong feelings on a topic you probably don’t know much about it”. Of course there are exceptions, but usually knowledge leads to a more nuanced view.

“What’s your most strongly held view?” Feels like an interesting question to ask oneself and others. I don’t know if I have a good answer.

Strong emotion tends to cloud logical judgement.
