Do people use reason and think logically anymore?

[Bomb Shot]

What the cause of any problem.
When someone used "emotion over reason."

To the degree that they know how to, yes they probably do.

Only problem is the "knowing how to" part.

One of the main problems is this, that there are multiple steps to get to a goal when it comes to truly logical thinking, and most people don't want to deal with the steps in between.

Do you know what cause war and violence mostly.
Because that one man used emotion over reason.
You know what is happening.

Yep, seems most people run on emotion and knee-jerk reactions to whatever they see or experience, especially online. People like this are very easily controlled by their TV also.

Only if they progress to university and unlearn what they learned in prior education before that and then relearn to be critical thinkers

World is increasingly moving toward complete selfishness over caring about anyone else.

I don’t believe or subscribe to emotions. I believe in results. Raw data. Emotions are a form of entertainment and distraction.

[Phirestar]

If you're talking about people online: no.
If you're talking about people irl: yes (for the most part).

[JobeGardener]

Like racism? It is kind of crazy how someone could not like you no matter how good of a person you are.

[Volfogg]

I don't need reason, I don't need logic. I just need fuel for my hate and disdain.

[Devsman]

Too much tbh.

Humans are as much emotional creatures as logical ones, and there's no reason we shouldn't embrace that.

Of course, our strongest tendency is to be social creatures, which has been abused by people who speak loudly.

I would agree with that statement, but also disagree.

If we're talking about logic, sometimes war can be used to obtain resources. That is the whole point of fighting all these damned wars in the first place. In terms of rationality however, which is logic applied to human beings, that would be a true statement because wars are generally a lot less logical to fight with nuclear weapon in the silos.

On the other hand, it also means that we have a certain amount of action, be taking in the direction of fighting with any certain end in sight.

I think I have to understand any war.
I need to do more research.

*political* thinkers.

There.

If talking emotionally and illogically gets you the result you want, being illogical is the logical way.

If a kid throws a tantrum and it always works. As an adult the kid is going to throw a tantrum, because its always worked.

[Dracoco OwO]

It's surprising that often it has to be me who thinks rationally in the worst times possible, i often expect it to be common sense but reality is often really disappointing on that side of things.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Most people never did much thinking to begin with,

[skOsH♥]

As far as I know, I haven't met many. I wish I knew more people that looked at stuff from all angles

[swillfly]

no, they use something even better; they use hemp
