I don't think it's saying you should be brash and unsubtle. It's just saying that you should commit, and give things the energy they deserve. Don't half-arse things.

I think that can definitely be compatible with subtlety and nuance, if you want it to.

Weird headline - that volcano is 700km east of Bali..

Yeah, good point. I agree that calling-in is better than calling-out, when it seems viable. There's always the trade-off with how much energy you have available though.

Yes. My point is that everyone is on the spectrum, and a purely rational mode of decision-making does not exist in humans. Every decision has emotional components.

I never said that decisions are purely emotional.

Ah, ignoring evidence because it doesn't support your pre-existing views. Text-book case of confirmation bias 😊

Oh yeah, I guess. I mostly associate it with actual voting

Yes, but they are inextricably influencing each other. Both are subsets of reality.

What is the value of tolerating trolls?

Guess we know where you sit on the Trolley Problem spectrum :P

This seems distinctly not a leopards eating faces moment?

Weird though.. Nice to see them fracturing a bit. Hard to be optimistic though..

edit: horrific autocorrects

🤷

Modern psychology and neuroscience agrees with me. Eg. https://neurosciencenews.com/emotion-reason-decision-making-25803/

Or have a read of Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow if you want something a bit deeper.

The human brain is packed full of inescapable cognitive biases, many of which relate to emotions. They occur just as much for you as for me, and ignoring them or denying them just makes the problem worse.

Why does that matter, for this particular message? Netanyahu is making decisions on behalf of Israel, no?
