RE: Heart vs. Mind - How Much Instinct Does A Solid Decision Need?

I'm not sure that will be interesting for you, but cross checking rational arguments with emotions seems to have support from the evolutionary point of view. Emotions may be a 'superordinate mechanism' coordinating memory, attention, energy allocation and other information-processeing mechanisms.

More about it: http://labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/2013/02/Al-ShawafEmotion-Review-2015.pdf

Of course, as with all evolved features, there is a question about the delay. Our culture is changing faster and faster. Our emotional software may be outdated. What then I don't know...

Wow, nice adding! Thank you!! I will definitely read the PDF :-)
That's highly sophisticated psychology in the end...

As far as I know, evolutionary psychology is not mainstream yet but I really like it. It has a potential of adding evolutionary ideas into our everyday thinking equipment. As for now scientific psychology and cognitive scientists are working mostly for the marketing industry. Against us.

Hope it will change one day. Thank you for taking notice :)

I see that you've got a lot of knowledge in this field. Really nice!
