You would think that something this simple would not need to be explained, but you'd be underestimating the level of cognitive dissonance of the average user on this site, who wants to stand on both sides and classify themselves as logical and moral, when in reality, both stances couldn't be further apart
In a lot of scenarios they are at odds with eachother and you either prove yourself to be a "truly moral" person or a "truly logical" person
The average person will often choose a moral stance over a logical one, and that by default makes them illogical, you can't have it both ways
Do emotional/moral people make logical decisions, yes, but its circumstantial for them, it isn't their "core worldview", the world of emotions and subjectivity is their "core worldview", so when a REAL DECISION (life or death scenario, life changing circumstances, etc) in life has to be made when they choose between whats logical and whats moral, they choose morality
For a logical person its the inverse, they'll make moral decisions based on circumstances for the sake of keeping up appearances, not even because they feel anything about if its "right" or "wrong", but when it comes down to a REAL DECISION they will always choose the logical choice despite how it affects others, because they aren't influenced by emotions
MORALITY IS NOT LOGICAL
MORALITY BY DEFINITION AND ALL KNOWN CONTEXT IS ABOUT EMOTIONAL APPEAL (SUBJECTIVE IDEALS NOT OBJECTIVE REALITY)
They are two completely separate things
You can be logical or a moralist, but you can't be both, because morality is at odds with logic
If you find a brief case filled with millions of dollars in an alleyway next to a dead body:
The LOGICAL thing to do is to take the money and dispose of the briefcase far away from where you love
The MORAL thing to do is to stand there and call the police
One has to forsake certain morals to make certain logical decisions and one has to forsake cold hard logic under certain circumstances in order to remain moral
They do not work in congruence with eachother, they are diametrically opposed
Moralfags need to stop FALSELY CONFLATING logic and morality, logic in its purest form IS IMMORAL, logic has nothing to do with subjective concepts like "right" or "wrong"
Let me put it this way in an abstract sense, think of 1+2=3
Morality is contemplating whether 2 consented to be added to 1 (in reference to rape)
Morality is contemplating whether 3 wished to exist in its state and if it was wrong to create it (in reference to giving birth to a child that would have a known defect)
LOGIC IS MERELY STATING THAT 1+2=3, NO JUDGEMENTS ARE MADE, ACTIONS ARE MERELY OBSERVED AND OBSERVATIONS ARE REPORTED
