It kind of borders on tautology then, methinks. Anyway, I don't disagree, just think that it's an odd framing of a triviality, and it seems to lend itself to some kind of silly "no u" game, hence the reference.
-
borders maybe, but not actually, because any logical decision reduces to an emotional decision, since there are no received values; framing it as logical is just an appeal to implicit, foregone emotional decisions

Heh, I said "borders" for a reason. Anyway, this seems like a good time to channel my shrink ex, specifically his favorite joke about science, dragon cults and flamethrowers.

one of those views allows you to build a flamethrower and burn everything you wanna burn to ash, and another gives you hope that a magic fire-breathing lizard will intervene and save you from the fella with the flamethrower.

it sounds vaguely like you're reading me as trying to promote the idea that we should feel about problems instead of think about them all i'm saying is that emotions are what allow you to prefer not being burned by the guy with the flamethrower

Nah, not really (OP kinda reads like bending closer to that kind of thing, but not that much)
