A few months ago the question was posed here (Tried searching but since I couldn't remember the title of the post it was hard to find) which is better? Emotions or logic at making decisions. I found it interesting that both reports here show that these tendancies people have to only pay heed to info that supports our current view is a result of emotional decision making. Once again, I see that making emotional decisions does very little to improve a situation.
The real problem is getting people to realize, myself included, when we are making a decision based on emotions or logic. Because of this hard wired tendancy, we may think/feel that we are making an assumption based on logic instead of emotion, even when that may not be the case.
So my question is, how can we as inidividuals override this tendancy and how do we get large numbers of the general public to do the same? Or do you think that things are good as they are?
