Episode notes
Emotions can lead to bias and cloud judgment but can also provide motivation. To make reliable decisions, it is advised not to trust thoughts formed during emotional moments. Instead, pause and wait for the intense emotion to subside before acting. Emotions are like advisors, signaling when a moral or ethical boundary is crossed, but many ancient emotional responses are now outdated due to the presence of modern legal systems. By understanding the purpose behind emotions, one can detach from them, viewing them as evolutionary constructs rather than commands to follow. This understanding allows for the creation of a pause between a triggering event and one's response, fostering a more thoughtful and considered reaction.
