Human beings are not rational creatures. We are apes, wrapped around monkeys, wrapped around rodents, wrapped around lizards, wrapped around amphibians. Somewhere in all that circuitry, we look at the stars and compose symphonies. Frustrating that you can't grab the logic circuits first, but that is the way we are.
This isn't entirely accurate. Humans are rational creatures, it's just that the inputs and outputs we're reacting to are a Laplace transform of the inputs and outputs we're presented with. The trick is to couch the argument to both sets of I/O and recognize that while you're doing so, you're also coming from a place of id, not ego.
Eventually you get used to the dry heaves and the brain stops trying to vomit. Sort of like being sea sick. Embrace the suck, internalize it and use that data point to help you understand the things happening around you.Every time I read this it makes me nauseous.
