[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 77429629, member: 375234"] While someone that thinks rationally and logically a lot to make decisions might reasonably guess (wrongly) that mostly their decisions are from logical thinking, it's known that is only illusory really. [I]Instead, [/I]diverse structures/systems in the human brain compete with one another during making (even controlling the logical analytical mind far more than most people would guess) -- several widely studied dissimilar competing mental forces push against each other to see at any given moment which is the strongest and will get the control a particular thought or decision. I want to offer someone other than me to show this, so I just looked up an article or 2 to help show you more on some of the competing forces in the brain, so you won't think it's just my preferred notion, etc. (instead, it's what I've learned, often to my surprise and sometimes with discomfort at the realities of how the human brain works being described and demonstrated in experiments) These look like good overview articles that don't rely on a lot of experimental psychology jargon: Emotions are far more decisive than many realize to influence thinking: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2018/05/09/how-your-emotions-influence-your-decisions/?sh=541c183b3fda[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-wisdom-of-anger/202308/the-power-of-emotions-in-decision-making[/URL] Also, much happens in the brain before any conscious thought process that people consider 'rational' or 'logical' -- what people think is their logic is usually only an afterthought, only a mere verbalization of a decision the brain already made unconsciously, where several unconsciously forces contested to see which would control the thought or decision.
