• Do emotions influence my decision making
    Well I've been incorrect in everything I've said so far proves one thing and confirms my enrollment for the next Dunning-Kruger seminar.
  • Do emotions influence my decision making
    So when he becomes instinctive due to his training he isn't actually making any decisions at all, his muscle memory has taken over and he just goes along with it ?
  • Do emotions influence my decision making
    Or do I have it all wrong ?
  • Do emotions influence my decision making
    What Im trying to say, Example: A soldier engaging in combat must continually and quickly make decisions on the basis of his situational awareness and act on that decision within seconds for fear of being injured, not once or twice but possibly hundreds of times in a very short period of time, now say he is commander and also has 6-8 other members he is commanding to maintain the initiative to momentum and win the battle. So will all that's going on self preservation, security and safety of those under his command, giving orders, keeping aware of whats going on around him etc etc with the complexity of it all wouldnt his experience, training, knowledge come into it and he decision process must be working at lighting speed and also having to change his plan as the battle unfolds. With all this I wouldnt think he has time to make a decision based on the emotional aspect. Make sense ? Thoughts.
  • Why do we like dreaming?
    I do enjoy the opportunity, I think because it is the beginning of the unknown and a collection of random events, possibly wanting me to solve. I sort of think that maybe my life style and the activities I've done have determined the type of dreams I do have, As a child I was haunted by one particular dream continually for many years, it was very odd and I have tried over the years ( and still do to this day ) to analyze its content sometimes I died sometimes I lived very odd indeed. But like a say I think that most of my dreams are an extension of my life activities. Thoughts ?
  • Why do we like dreaming?
    Maybe it's so because there seems to always be an element of risk associated with dreaming. I know for myself that a large majority of my dreams are very adventurous and exciting and in some cases an overwhelming desire to succeed or push further. I think the ability to take a certain amount of risk in normal life has been added in some way, we are by nature risk takers in every day life, if there's no risk in what we do there's no advancement there's no progression and no knowledge gained, we just stand idle and feel inert, that's not very exciting and within the dream we have an added bonus to add or subtract the intensity of that risk, I think?
