Have you read Antonio Damasio’s idea that without emotion one cannot actuate “rational” ideas? People can “know” the answer cognitively but not behave in accordance with this knowledge due to lack of emotion. Emotion as torque converter. Thoughts?https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1054128157853388806 …
Replying to @mcclay_roman
While I respect Damasio as incredibly influential, I personally could not interpret his arguments in ways that I found entirely compelling. For starters, the above does not distinguish motivation (anticipated reward) from emotion (modulation of cognition).
