The Mask which is Belief

Our intellects give us human animals the impressive ability to model reality. The realities so modeled can even be the modelers themselves, as well as hypothetical realities which our models predict to be possible. Our models will always be imperfect and incomplete though, and forgetting this fact can effectively limit our minds within our own

...And what wondrous electroneural meat-machines we are! (Now there's a name for a band.)

I certainly agree that emotion is often the enemy of reason, but what I was trying to demonstrate is that belief and reason can in turn be the enemies of awareness.

Reason/logic is just a tool. Like any tool, it requires purpose to be useful. At the core of purpose is value, and value exists in the realm of emotion. Logic gives us capability, and emotion gives us direction.

All considered, emotion and reason/logic make for interesting bedfellows.
