    Are You Being Logical or Emotional?

    Are You Being Logical or Emotional?

    I need to work on this. (4/10)

    Or in other words...whose reality? Checklists follow.
    Cognitive distortion

    List of cognitive biases
    Appeal to consequences or Emotional reasoning - making decisions and arguments based on how you feel rather than objective reality.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_consequences
    Appeal to consequences, however, does not refer to arguments that address whether a premise is a "good" or "bad" (as opposed to true or
    false) based on the appeal of its consequence, which are not logical arguments but are, instead, ethical arguments.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_argument
    When we look at a human perspective, it is a more social value system and its associated beliefs.Perspective (cognitive)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetoric
    or is it Methods of Persuasion
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasion
    Critical thinking skills or dismissive is a choice. Attachments to an outcome or with expectations gets us into trouble, wars,
    misunderstandings and strife. Is logic Boolean? Truth and values may be f.i.n.e. 4 one and not okay for another, but intercessor's of peace
    promote love and understanding not degrees of being burned. Is Avenging a human avocation? Even for the ones graced by God? Think I'll leave
    that to The 1. Even having this argument is playing into the hands of something not just or right. *sigh just a reflection
    Then again if someone is kind enough to point out your flaws, then I consider that a favor and opportunity to grow. So thank 'em, love 'em and God Bless YOU!
    It's all good, right?

    The Father's letter is for you. His ways are higher than ours. It takes time to grow a seed and bear good fruit. Rebuke the devourer. The battle is the Lord's and He will be victorious.


    If that makes me crazy then that's okay.
    Reverence for the Father and his instructions outweighs all else.
    In all directions, love one another give us grace for agreement with Your will.
    Leaving all else behind us.
    I love you God; show me the real truth not idols.
    Pleading the blood on life and the world all over.
    so be it.

    Oh, my... I just finished another post and was gonna dip into yours regarding logic and emotion. NOPE! too much for me right now. Too many links.. too much thinking and probably too much logic.
    So I think I've arrived at an answer to your original question anyhow.

    ya agreed aero just thought I'd put it out there
    we're all works in progress anyway, eh

    thinking again...when you say aero it's too much that is probably true for most, soooooooooo
    opposition in thinking and perception or pov
    if one does not agree with another does GroupThink take into account the persuasion of arguments against another or all other factors?
    usually not 'cause it's too much work
    thanks for your input
    even if my conclusion is based on a logical fallacy haha
    still a skim and ponder over group bias, like films such as Crash, does would make the world a sweeter place j another thought

    cognitive distortion pisses me off... the thing most likely to make me speak up in a group conversation..i avoid biases too.. however.. the first thing i feel is a wave of emotion in any given situation but the logic kicks in immediately..

    Not me. It's not that I'm afraid of failing; I'm afraid of passing. Considering the Mensa members that I've known, I wouldn't want to be numbered among them.

    That's not fair or nice. What's your damage with Mensa members?

    yeah, ive got a cousin with a high iq.. got yanked from his high school and put into accellerated learning..he was bullied a lot, didnt do so well at his school work and was quite depressed before and its true that he is overly intelligent but the effect of him knowing this was not so good!

    some people take this information differently than others id expect
