If you saw that as a "dunk", then I really do worry about you.

Your confirmation bias has you so blind that you actually believe humans cannot reason.

Please get help.

That's an issue.

its possible to reason but claiming it as an identity is always fraudulent.

there, i explained the meme for you, Florida Man

No one claims it as an identity.

Give me a data point. Are we being rational when we ask people to decouple their feelings from their reasoning or "justification"?

Right on pedo-fag. Not really interested in having conversations with you anymore, because the past month of converse has shown that you don't actually have a position on anything. You merely play contrarian and antagonist to any and every position that anyone posts here.

When i first started posting you postured as a leftist. Then you pivotted to the right when the conversation took on a more left-embracing undertone, then you pivotted back to the left when it swayed right.

You stand for nothing, and fall for everything. I post to converse with others here, who actually have a consistent position on matters of politics, philosophy, psychology, and theology.

Good Day, Sir.

They say "I identify as reason"?

Tell me what they say.

i don't think the tweeter was suggesting that people are incapable of reason without emotion. i think the argument that he struggled to articulate is that reason cannot deliver preference and what we do conforms to our preference. What he fails to understand though is that it is entirely possible to do things that make us feel bad because we know they will produce a better outcome.


also, irulan, im not sure this will work for you, but it has for me. i discovered that what you are decsribing (at least for me) are irrational fears generated as defense mechanism to avoid particular conflict (im using conflict here in a very broad sense to refer to anything that makes us feel unease). the solution that I found was to vocally reject such thought as irrational fears while asserting their source as an understandable avoiding reaction, but rejecting it too and then resolving to destroy the conflict. that doesn't mean destroy the sources or arena of conflict, just the conflict itself. The goal is not to destroy the people, places or things associated with the conflict, while eliminating the conflict itself. Clear the hurdle and put it behind you. the challenge sometimes can be just identifying the conflict. talking to oneself can be a good way of ferreting those out because we are very easily able to feel when we say something we know isn't true. sorry if this doesn't make sense or isn't helpful. just something I've stumbled on.
