Hypocrisy Can emotions be used as argument?

[Albertopenheimer]

I k that i had an "answer" for it, but I kinda lied to myself
Now i have an actually satysfying answer for it

There is (obviously) always an data-thinking-answer way

But its something different using emotions as data than emotionaly processing it
(Using it as data is ok, thinking not)

Ik that it sound stupidly obvious but its harder to find something out from blank paper on than understanding smt

Emotions should never really be used in arguments tho they almost always are.

 

[HotDogCel]

depends on what you're arguing about.

But we always judge things wheter they're good or not based on wheter they cause us happines

More so we judge on whether they are a negative or a positive which does involve emotion to some extent.

I agree with this.
The only time that it is should be *considered* is when a person feels empathy, but never sympathy.

 

[boneless goblin]

emotions are facts

 

[Darth Aquarius]

emotions are facts

Yes, even the most logical decisions have emotional reasoning behind them

 

[RejectedCoomMaxxer]

In terms of effectiveness in persuasion? No, you should never use emotions as basis for an argument.

But being realistic? At the end of the day emotions are the basis of everything. Say if we are discussing politics and we want to implement a policy that's "fair". We want to live in a fair society. That need for fairness is emotional.

Other things like justice, safety, happiness. We engage in heated debates on many topics, because we want to maximize these concepts. And they are very aligned with our emotions.

Does this mean our emotions are always right? No. Often times our emotions are quite selfish and irrational. But to exclude the emotional component in a discussion, focusing strictly on the objective facts, I find that reductive. It's "irrational" almost to exclude emotions.

High IQ but u forgot that even the euphoria for a future happiness is also happiness. And that others emotions are can also be considered

I gave those emotions as examples. In reality all emotions should be taken seriously.

Why do we have prisons in society? Partly to keep society working and keep psychopaths away without causing more trouble. But the other reason is we want revenge.

Why do foids hate incels? It's not at all for a rational reason. They find them disgusting.

Why are many workers angry at CEOs and business owners? It's not because they mathematically calculated they are underpaid. It's because they feel they work hard and earn too little.

You can do this with just about anything. Even esoteric things like "theoretical physics mathematics" even those debates revolve around emotion, believe it or not.

No because they depend on oneself
