"I was afraid" .. "hurt a lot" .. "I hope that" .. "that feels" .. "I'm conflicted" .. "I'm confused" .. "I'm afraid" .. "human touch" .. "I liked" .. "I feel so stupid". Maybe, just maybe, you're not thinking rationally/logically about the situation and instead are mostly operating on emotion and feelings? | ||

The core of the human experience is to react to emotions. There’s nothing without emotions. Even if you feel like you can numb yourself to look at everything objectively, those “objective” “rational” thoughts are still based on feelings and inklings about what you trust and which facts you believe through chains of sources and anecdotes. There’s no such thing as operating without emotion. | ||

The irony is that it is sometimes irrational/illogical to only consider rationality and logic. Have you ever had an experience where, by all calculations, you should be happy with the outcome but for whatever reason you're not? In some ways, that is the state of the internet today. Everything is optimized based on analytics, but so many of use are unhappy with how things are. | ||

And that is perfectly acceptable if somebody is a human person. | ||

its okay for humans to have feelings (and even occasionally talk about them). | ||

What are you talking about? There was nothing irrational or illogical about what he said. The fact that he balanced his (well thought-out) opinion with emotion does not make it instantly irrational. | ||
