emotions also are a part of humans
And most of the time, people don't attain higher IQs by trying harder or 'working out' their brains, so we can't fault people for having lower IQs than others.
This is why I dislike average people... They say really wrong things.
EQ, I think, is highly important also.
So I agree with you, laurentia.
@JeffDog , I am a Biologist.
since well humans arent robots that operate on pure logic
@laurentia , what is the purpose of emotion?
Nice to meet you, Rayn. I am studying physics.
Emotions are not novel, they serve a purpose.
What is that purpose?
i mean yeah of course they serve a purpose
What's that purpose?
without emotion we probably wouldnt have survived
How did they help us survive?
Love serves the purpose of furthering the race, not only through procreation, but by protectiveness, altruism, et cetera. That's an example of a purpose for an emotion.
i mean without emotion we wouldnt care for our children
or protect them
Snakes reproduce but don't love.
Why do humans?
lots of animals have emotions
Yes, like mammals.
i'm not sure about sankes though
snakes
One may not absolutely need love to reproduce or survive, but I think it definitely helps the species.
Snakes are solitary. They don't raise their young.
humans raise their young
without emotions we wouldnt care about them
without emotions we wouldnt find a partner and have kids with
Yes, and humans love AND sexually reproduce, so the purpose of love is more abstract than sex.
without emotions we wouldnt have banded together and formed societies
humans are social creatures
@JeffDog , I work in Genomics.
social animals tend to be emotional
compared to solitary ones
look at dogs vs cats
Not quite. Language is an evolution of the need of a social species where logic is abstractly built on language m
So, logic is more a consequence of humans becoming social.
Humans can't think of logic or math without thinking abstractly, first.
you could say religion is based on emotion
