It feels like you are making a logic knot only for yourself so you then can solve it? I am sure there is something you can gain from understanding that, what is meant here. But I don't follow your semantic reasoning, I mean.. What is put up is that, when your feelings say one thing, but your brain knows another way, and it's related to safety, you shouldn't follow your feelings. It's ofc extremely generalised advice but from an old man, trust me it's truer than you think. Listen to your brain if it tells you something is dangerous, even if your heart says woohoo. Just in general, that's super solid advice
it's not really a logic knot, i just think the linguistic structure of that statement is really funny. It's taking a concept that is primarily felt and experienced, and then saying "yeah actually don't feel any of that."
Which like, makes sense on the surface level, but that's not what people mean when they say that, unless we're meta shitposting on the original post here, and i missed that. Which is very possible.
