Men of Emotion vs Men of Logic

When trying to win an argument, Men of Logic will often resort to logic and reason as their choice of weapons to win that argument. When it fails them to gain an advantage, they resort to finding, and using, MORE reason and logic. Reason and logic will not persuade a Man of Emotion. It is akin to shooting an elephant with a BB Gun; more ammunition is not the answer.

I hear so many times, people on the left do things that make no sense; “it is illogical.”

I hear so often from the left, that people on the right, “just do not care.”

Men of Emotion are more likely to act in ways that elicit emotion; anything it takes. Reason, Logic, and Truth are often “obstacles” to Feelings. This makes no sense to the logical man.

Saturday Night Live would be an example of one way to elicit Emotion from an audience. Hollywood is full of people experienced in eliciting Emotion.

Often I see the left use the “Race Card” to support their argument, when often it used inappropriately, wrongly, or illogically. It doesn't matter to the left, they are seeking to gain Emotion. And, when little emotion is evoked, they raise the temperature of the argument, even hurdling over obstacles in the argument (Reason, Logic, and Truth).

Two totally different methods of winning an argument. And when you want to win an argument, just remember the ammunition you will need. To win the argument does not mean you need to kill the elephant. After all, no amount of BB pellets will do the job. Maybe the elephant would like some lettuce, some water, and some coddling? Now go out and win that argument.

Peace Out, EinStud
