Emotional Intelligence
I think they have the definition incorrect. It is likely to be tricky to define as emotions have little to do with logic. Emotions are also difficult to define as people mix emotions and feelings. I will say that that internal and external stimuli to the reptile brain create emotions. We don’t directly feel the emotion. The emotion creates a feeling and we can detect the feeling.
I bought some replacement clothes in a big store in Yekaterinburg, Russia today. I was thirsty, so I went back to the first floor where I knew there was an impromptu café. The server was extremely good with her command of smiles. These smiles emanated happiness.
When she sends a smile, her brain has decided to send a message and does so by manipulating the appropriate facial muscles to create a smile with the message that her subconscious wants to convey. The recipient’s eyes notice the smile and the recipient’s subconscious interprets the smile and creates an emotion. The emotion creates a feeling. We feel the feeling which in this case is accepting and joyful.
So the first thing I claim is that you don’t ‘feel’ the emotion directly, you feel the feeling created by the emotion. So, somebody walks behind me. I get an emotion. The emotion creates a feeling. I thus detect that something is moving behind me. I dismiss concern as my brain I knows that I am in a safe location.
When we interact with different people, a more complex set of emotions occur. I will give an example to illustrate emotional intelligence.
When us males walk into a room containing people, we ‘wipe’ the smiles off our face to give an emotionless expression. My face expresses no emotion. I walk into the room, and say to myself: “Good, nobody looked at me.” When a girl walks into a room, she says: “Good. Everybody looked at me.” She swings her head around and, in a half-second, she can detect the whole ‘social dynamics’ of the room. Here we get into emotional intelligence. As a male, not only do we not detect this social dynamics, we do not know that there is a social dynamics, and nor do we know that girls can detect this social dynamics!
I’ll give you another example. Girls can detect things in us males that we do not know they can detect. A girl can talk with me and detect my status in society, my status in my workplace, and my status amongst my friends. She can detect these statuses without watching me in these environments. That is how she decides your worthiness for her needs. In a group of males, she can detect the strong males and the weak males. She can generally detect whether you are lying by your demeanor. Males: do not lie to girls. They can detect the lie. If you have a problem with what she requests in her answer, you must avoid answering the question. Answer a different question as if you did not understand or devise some other tactic. Males: you can avoid the truth but do not lie.
Girls that have had a heavy education with its emphasis on logic and words, sometimes struggle with this. It may be because they were logical to start with or it may be because the education encouraged logic above instinct. I find that girls that might have never passed an exam in their lives or talk in short sentences as if they are texting, can be extremely observant in an instinctual manner. Some girls that may be studying law or chemistry, can be so logical that they struggle to play games with a male they find interesting in order to get him to fall in love with her.
Males are hunters. Males were hunters before civilisation. A woman is only a prize if we have to chase her. The man thinks that he managed to entice her into communication such that he could make a relationship with her. Little does he know that she had already decided that she was going to create the environment such that he could chase her. She might accidentally go to the same café as he frequents. She might actually go and ‘accidentally’ stand in his way. She might accidentally stand closer to him then ignore him. Some girls are unaware of these tactics. Their instincts are clouded over or they were bombarded with logic in a manner to discourage instinct.
Our chemistry girl was unaware that she was the main attraction on the ground floor.
I explained to her that the male that she was serving watched her intently the whole time she was fumbling at the coffee machine.
I had to explain to her: “You don’t walk across the room to get to the other side, you walk across the room to be seen.” I added: “If necessary, you stop halfway, right in front of your target male, to adjust your dress, socks, shoes, or tights, in a manner to highlight your body form.” I explained that in Victorian days, ladies would ‘accidentally’ drop a handkerchief, appropriately initialed, so the target male would as intended return the handkerchief to her. She was amazed that women played these tricks in the ‘olden days’.
If a girl makes it too obvious, she looses appeal to the man. He will see her as ‘easy’ and not a good long term prospect. The assumption is that the male will go for the best looking girl. This is not correct. I think the male mind is programmed to look at a girl and detect whether she would make a good mother. Physical appearance is necessary as it is needed to fire up his ‘hormones’ (sexual desire), however, her manner, grace, and other characteristics are significant. There is also a problem with particularly ‘beautiful’ girls in that they may be perceived as a loyalty problem, attracting too much attention from other males. I have had that problem. So girls, do not fret over your appearance. Some men prefer big girls. Some men prefer slim or skinny girls. Do not compare, nor judge yourself against other girls.
Emotional Intelligence is commonly described or defined in the following manner. Be aware that these definitions tend to be written by those steeped in logic. They themselves may not be fully aware of the emotional detection available to ‘lesser’ individuals that did not jump the logic ladder with its avoidance of emotion.
- Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you. [Mental Health America]
- Emotional Intelligence is understanding and managing your own emotions and influencing the emotions of others. [Daniel Goleman]
- Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand, manage, and use your own emotions positively to relieve stress, communicate effectively
- Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own and other’s emotions. [Shruthi N, MD]
- Emotional Intelligence is being aware of your emotions and the emotions of others around you in all situations. This would include the how your actions create emotions in others. It includes how other’s actions are creating emotions in you and other persons. When you are aware of the emotional landscape, you can be aware of the feelings thus triggered. Once you are on top of all of that incredible dynamic, you can start to be aware of resulting behaviors.
The psychologists in white coats claim there are five elements to Emotional Intelligence. But be aware that psychologists work for money and they either want the maximum income out of a patient that walks through the door or they want better productivity for a company. In the company situation, they want persons to ‘control’ or restrict their emotions in a manner to maximise the outcome for a company. So, as always, take the view of psychologists with a ‘pinch of salt’. Here are the psychologists five key elements to Emotional Intelligence:
- self-awareness,
- self-regulation,
- motivation,
- empathy, and
- social skills.
People with high Emotional Intelligence can identify how they are feeling, what those feelings mean, and how those emotions impact their behavior and others for better work outcomes.
With skill, it is possible to influence how other feel when influencing their behaviour and better interact with them.
As an individual, being aware of the emotions occurring in you with the feelings thus generated assists deciding the appropriate action. In the workplace, the company does not want you to be controlled by these feelings. But in the romantic situation, you need to act in sympathy with the emotions occurring within you and their resultant feelings, but with restraint when needed.
Our chemistry girl was extremely good at creating a joyous atmosphere with her customers in the rather rudimentary café whilst being entirely unaware of the emotions she was creating in this excessively functional ground floor area. So why did Andy put pictures of ‘chemistry girl’ in a chapter on Emotional Intelligence. We have already said that she was unaware of the emotional atmosphere she created. To clash with the academics, this does not mean she has no Emotional Intelligence. She was reacting to situations naturally with her joyful manner that came from her subconscious rather than her neocortex. My challenge to you is can you match her joyous approach when dealing with morose strangers that work in the modern equivalent of a chicken pen that we call an office. You have no chance of doing it with logic. “I must smile at this customer” just does not create the atmosphere. You have to do it from a place over which you have little control. You can only work towards feeling joyous inside by tricking your subconscious to think on joyous things rather than negative things. When you can create joyousness inside and a good feeling towards others, you will emanate a joyous smile and aura that will create the similar emotion in those with whom you deal.
I differ from the professionals desiring to make a quid out of this Emotional Intelligence bandwagon in that I am not advocating it for the purpose of improving outcomes within a company by making employees empathetic.
Emotional Intelligence can be used for good or bad purposes. It can be used for emotional manipulation. Girls need to learn that it is inappropriate to use emotional manipulation to put down a male. I often wonder when girls accuse males of physical abuse whether they were guilty of inappropriate emotional manipulation. Girls, you will use emotional manipulation as is your inherent modus operandi, but make sure that you only use it for raising up a man not putting him down. He will look after you much better if you raise him up rather than put him down. The last straw for a man may lead to extreme violence as was the way before the rules of civil life restrained such violence. For example, if you keep prodding a dog with a stick, the dog may stay away from you for a while, then he might lunge at you and take your arm. Men will never stop girls using emotional manipulation, but please use it for the betterment of men, family, children, and society.
Here is a piece I wrote about girls and boys on another website. It is about ‘Woman’s Secret’. Some girls know it. Some were taught by their mothers. With feminist turmoil, many do not discover this ‘Woman’s Secret’.
Advice of Girlz
Woman’s ‘Secret’ lies in the ability of the woman to manipulate the emotions of a man to her advantage. She uses her position of physical weakness to take his power. She plays on his pride. She can strip his pride and rebuild his pride at will. She can augment his life or ruin his life. Although he is physically stronger, her manipulative skills utterly outclass his logical brain. He uses logic to communicate. A woman will stoop to logic when required but she will have a layer of thought that transcends the man’s logic as she comprehends the social dynamics in operation, an area almost invisible to the male. She can read the social dynamics of a situation whilst he cannot. Males rely on logic to interpret situations. This human use of logic arrived with the logic of language. We have only had speech for one-hundred-thousand-years, so our primary communication was smiles. I say that: “Smiles are our primary means of communication”. The smile is your main way of communicating. Speech is a secondary means of communication. Speech requires logic and males are good at logic, but he is weak at emotion and smiles. Males are good at logic but are notoriously weak with eye communication, which gives the female the advantage. You control your man with smiles and emotion including the emotions tied up in touch, hugs, and kisses. He often has the advantage when it comes to logic. You have the advantage elsewhere. If the girl tackles him on logic, she puts herself into a position where she may lose. If she uses emotion, she wins every time — nearly every time. The male will have developed ‘principles’ which he will not break, but this is to the woman’s advantage anyway.
A girl needs to know how to control her ‘environment’ through life. It is mostly part of biology. The girl needs to meet a male, ensure that he has what she wants in a male, be confident that he will be reliable enough to stay around for the children, whilst caring and providing for her during pregnancy, birth, and upbringing. She needs to know how to ‘influence’ the relationship so she can get what she biologically needs to create an appropriate surrounding commonly called a home. This is why she is brought up to be mildly narcissistic so that she is at ease using his assets through pregnancy, birth, and upbringing. This is why she tests him out during the mating stage to check his resilience and his likely reliability during the birthing and upbringing of a child. She will test his resolve to weather the course though potential rocky patches in the relationship. This testing is partly natural in that it came from our time as a reptile and partly trained as in her upbringing.
The control is initiated at the beginning of the relationship when the man is at his most vulnerable. When the woman realizes that the male likes her, she starts to use her special skills. She puts herself on a pedestal and make the male jump through hoops. She takes him on an emotional rollercoaster that jumbles his brain. He knows not whether she likes him or not. She tests him. Is he going to stay the course through thick and thin? Will he look after her needs in the long term? She ensures that there is no bigger thought in his mind than her. His day is consumed with thoughts for her. She makes him jump through hoops to test the endurance of his devotion — devotion to her needs. Once he has surrendered his power, for the most part, he is beyond the point of no return. He is putty in her hands. He may be a boxing champion or a military commander, but he is weak in her presence.
She didn’t do it on her own. His mother prepared him for subservience to a woman. This is why mothers train boys in duty, honour, resilience, and manliness whilst girls are given mild narcissistic guidance so that they think it is natural to use the assets of the male to get her through pregnancy, birth, and child-rearing. Boys were trained by mothers, to be emotionless which made them manipulable by skillful girls. The mother says to her son: “You never hit a girl” and “You’re not scared of the dark — are you?” and “Boys don’t cry.”
I sometimes ask: “Did God make woman beautiful or did God make man’s mind believe that woman is beautiful.” Whatever the answer, men desire women. If this was not so — we would not be. His desire for her beauty makes him weak at the knees. His heart flutters when she looks into his eyes. I say to the boys: “You think that strength is in the muscles, but strength is in the eyes. Try looking into a girl’s eyes and see who looks away first. Don’t look away. You need to learn how to speak with your eyes.” Strength is in the eyes — not in the muscles. The man uses muscle and logic — the woman uses eyes.
This man in the above picture is in an incredible predicament! She put him there and she knew how to do it. The power is in the eyes. He may have a helmet and body armour, but she is attacking him at his weakest point, his eyes and emotions. Her female strength to his male weakness.
Girls love it when they discover my weakness. They look into my eyes with a big grin and wiggle their torso. I tell them the effect it has on me. I go like jelly inside. My brain goes blank and I cannot remember what I was thinking about before their feminine onslaught. At my age, I can bravely tell them in conversation the effect they have on me as it is important information for when they are dealing with males in the future.
I started studying this relationship stuff when girls were asking pertinent questions about finding boyfriends. Here is a section from my book: ‘Gril Power’. It is on Amazon and somebody has put some of it on archive.com.
Many girls, particularly the twenty-eight-year-olds ask me: “Andy. We can’t find males to marry us! What has gone wrong?” Or in broken English, they say: “Andy. Why not I find man to marry me?” In recent years, it has become: “Andy. We can’t even find boyfriends. The males have all gone cold. Why is this happening?” So, being a good little male, I am complying with their wishes. I started to write a book called: “I can’t find a boyfriend”, but what I discovered was way beyond my expectations. There are whole skill areas that women have to which males are blind and these were used by females of past generations to control the males of the world. This ‘Girl Power’ got thrown out of the window during the screeching propaganda and the upper hand was given to the males to run riot with female sexuality. “Drop your knickers — or you are sexually repressed.” It was a con job of magnificent proportions. And the women fell for it. Females major power structure was destroyed rendering the modern young girl almost powerless compared to her female ancestors. Unfortunately, it was the era of male funded and promoted seductive propaganda that utterly destroyed the woman’s cartel on matters sexual and destroyed the status of Western women. Years ago, Western women were regarded as the humans of the highest character in the world. Nothing was as puerile, honourable, and respectable as the ‘Western white woman’. It became a right. If you were born a woman, you were respected. If you were born a man, you had to work, produce, and provide. Worldwide, Western women are now known primarily for the way they obey male’s demands in porn films. Porn is almost entirely Western women on their knees with their mouths full of manliness with males looking down on them uttering commands. The situation has degraded so far that the Muslims, to keep their people’s dignity intact, teach their young males that European women ‘are as dirt’. The volume of porn secretly watched behind closed doors is humongous and it is almost entirely Western women subservient to demanding male actors. It portrays females seeking approval for having done a good job.
This is an immense reversal of ‘Girl Power’. Women controlled everything in society by proxy. It was remote control of males. ‘No money — No honey.’ was the formula and men lapped it up like little kittens. Men worked tirelessly doing all the nasty jobs in society for the benefit of women. Women called the shots — but alas no more.
To start the story, it must be remembered that Feminism was clever propaganda funded by males and promoted by males. It was designed to appeal to women. It was never designed to benefit females. What happened was the exact opposite of the words of the propaganda machine. Women were ‘oppressed’ in the kitchen so they were ‘freed’ for oppression in the corporate workforce. But that was ok, because there was an army of psycho psychiatrists to feed them antidepressants. Its effect was to destroy the female cartel on sex and destroy women’s main powerbase. The propaganda was spectacularly successful. In a blitz of illogic, Feminism broke the Woman’s Cartel. Women were to be ‘liberated’ from this situation and join the workforce and sex was no longer to be used to control males. Women were to be liberated and have sex with any male with society’s blessing. In the prevailing climate of illogic, a woman could not be considered as ‘liberated’ if she was not giving sex away for free. Girls purposely dropped their knickers to prove they were ‘liberated’. Girls have to prove they are not ‘frigid’ or ‘square’ of ‘hung-up’ by having sex with boys when they don’t wish to. Girls have to explain why they don’t wish to be screwed by a male. One girl’s comment follows:
“The Sexual Revolution tells me that I am abnormal if I don’t desire to make it with every Tom, Dick, of Jane that I see. I am only free to say ‘Yes’.” [10]
The power of ‘no’ is now in the hands of males as they are refusing to be subjugated by women in marriage. Here is another comment:
“Now you have to prove how liberated you are and men use that.” [10]
And another:
“All of them had come under intense pressure to have sex: the boys to show they were not ‘batty’, the girls to prove they were not ‘frigid’. Most had caved in — simply because… they could not think of a single reason to say no.” [11]
And one more:
“Most men didn’t give a damn about whether I wanted to have sex with them or not. If I didn’t want to screw them, they would make a moral thing out of it, and try to lecture me into being ‘free’.” [10]
Ten-thousand-years of the development of civilization destroyed in one bout of popularized illogic. ‘Sexual Liberation’ was no gain for women. Women now have a near impossible task finding a male to be subservient in marriage. Only the best-looking women have the ability to tie a man into male servitude. Sex had been the controlling method over males. In the past, if a man wanted sex with a girl, the girl made him grovel, made demands of him, tied him up with a strict set of rules, and tied his heart up in knots so to keep him in an emotional rollercoaster. Her demand was always: “If you want sex with me, you must marry me and when we get married, I decide when it shall happen, and what is more, you must give me your wage packet each week for the rest of your life.” Sex was incredibly ‘expensive’ for males. One single root required a lifetime of commitment. This was the ‘Women’s Cartel on Sex’ where men were sex starved enough to comply with female wishes. Women never gave sex away for free and any girl that did were ostracised with name calling that included whore, slut, and prostitute. Women hated women that gave it away for free. That is why brothels were illegal — to prevent men getting sex at low cost. No freedom of choice existed for any girl that broke the cartel. Men loved easy sex, but they could never get it. Men were kept in a state of sexual starvation. Men were not promiscuous because no girl would give them sex under the unwritten code amongst women that we shall here call: “The Women’s Cartel on Sex” Men were designed as a fucking machine and the woman’s cartel on sex made them sex-starved to the point of submission to woman’s demands. He voluntarily entered servitude to female and family and was honoured by being called: “A good father.” and: “A good family man.” and similar.
Even the terms ‘manliness’ and ‘good man’ referred to items that were to the benefit of women. ‘Good man’ means ‘he looks after his woman’. ‘He is romantic’ means ‘he grovels to his woman’. Feminism changed this and ‘manliness’ now refers to the number of girls he has bedded — all for free of course with girls that invite his enthusiasm to treat them as free prostitutes. Any enterprising young male can bed an endless supply of females in a male utopia. Some bed hundreds or thousands and some bed numerous in a day. All he needs is the consent word: ‘Yes’ and he is ‘in’. And ‘yes’ is plentiful in the modern world but was close to impossible in times gone by. Women still have the power of ‘no’ but only use it in marriage and there they overuse it.
Through history, sex was cleverly ‘demonized’ to be treated as a ‘naughty’ taboo subject so that women could say to their man-slave: “All you think about is the ‘s’ word”. The clever female would never even use the word ‘sex’, nor ‘penis’ nor ‘vagina’ so that she could control the supply of sex and his ‘amorous advances’. His desire for sex was not because he was virile but was because he was ‘naughty’ and was incapable of controlling his lust. His enthusiasm was turned to guilt. Woman’s control over men was almost tyrannical.
The male was given the honour of being ‘head of the family’ where he would announce the family decisions which she had made for him. If he failed to provide all that the woman desired, he was declared to be a failure. It was a one sided arrangement where he was to provide copious money for her to spend and if volume did not match her expectations, he was declared to be a failure and was publicly shamed. It is well summed up in the statement: “Men rule the world. Women rule the men” Men consider this to be a stupid joke as they only operate in the land of logic. Women have thinking that transcends male logic. Patriarchy was a clever system invented by females or supported by females to persuade males to work down the coal mine to bring money home to the woman and to run society entirely for the benefit of women and offspring. The trick called patriarchy completely removed the burden and stress of provisioning from females and dumped it on males. Jesus stood against the males and gave the power back to the women by enforcing ‘Christian Patriarchy’ on the males. It was women that wanted ‘Christian Patriarchy’ because it gave them a method of controlling males.
We descend from a line of violent wild animals and the male was the more violent gender. To curb male violence, young males were trained in the ways of ‘Christian Patriarchy’. This procedure was the prime way of taming males and harnessing their sexual energy for the benefit of women. Male sexual energy has been released by feminism and the males are taking advantage female sexuality.
If women were oppressed by males, women would not be able to say: “No.” in the bedroom. If women were oppressed by males there would not be so many women in cafés. The cafés would be full of males whilst the women were at work in the factories. If males had set up patriarchy, they had done a poor job of it. Most men were dominated by other men. They had high work death rates. High suicide rates. They had to work at nasty jobs. They were subscripted into armies to be shot in deplorable conditions. In the house, the women had the power of ‘no’ — and if he decided that his ‘yes’ overrode the woman’s ‘no’, he was tied to the local whipping post for blood to flow at the hands of local males.
At this point in the chapter, I left the café. The two girls running the café had no English, and I had no Russian. They both came out to give me a special goodbye. Please note that language is not needed for connection!
This image was on a T-shirt on the train from Yekaterinburg to Omsk 2025-01-26. minus eighteen centigrade outside but toasty warm inside the carriage. The young male opposite me gave me a blank look when I nodded at him with a “Giday.” He continued with a blank dismissive look as if I was an idiot to talk to strangers. I noticed a girl avoiding eye contact in the side berth on this open sleeping carriage. Knowing that girls always notice, I made sure I did not avert my obvious glance to notice her. She had looked away as if I was faulty for crossing eyes. The straight faced boy typed into his mobile. In a while he stuttered some English whilst reading his pre-prepared message from his phone. It turned out that he had studied English but had little practice. At eighteen, his young manhood wanted to discover what other older males do. I was of interest as I was traveling around the world by train solo in minus twenty temperatures at the age of seventy-three. The girl-next door ‘accidentally’ crossed eyes with me as our young man stuttered though his question. Crossing eyes twice accidentally’ means an invite to communicate. If it is a girl, it is not accidentally’. I raised my eyes and said something that just came out of the top of my head. In other words, it was not planned. (I have just crossed eyes twice accidentally’ with another girl in another café. I’ll work on this for ten minutes, leaving her in puzzlement, the see how a new connection goes.) She moved into our compartment and all three chatted for a couple of hours. I was getting dry, so I walked to the hot water urn to make myself a decaf coffee. All Soviet-era trains have ‘free’ hot water for drinks with cups and teabags available. I did not get as far as the door without being stopped by a group of three young men and one girl going on a ski holiday. They were each eager to ask questions as they must have overheard our conversations. Young males want to know how to navigate life. I seem to be a bit of a celebrity everywhere I travel. You can see awe and respect in their eyes. They were all professionals, yet they had to be Russian and offer Vodka from their bottles kept in brown paper bags or in large hip flasks. I was no different when younger. This next picture was on a t-shirt:
The picture is an image of the neocortex with the message ‘use it’. The reptile brain is not shown. If you only use your neocortex, you will only have access to logic and illogic. If you can suck up some of the activity in your reptile subconscious, your power will be much enhanced. Just switch off your logic for a while and look around and ‘feel’ what effect each thing around you has on you. I am feeling that this chair is a bit hard! These random cafés in Russia are well set up. They have many design elements that I never see back home. Their temperature control is always perfect which is not the case back home in Australia.
Somehow, we need to get in touch with our emotions. This is difficult to explain to a logical person using words and logic. They keep reverting to logic. The wee somebody that gets ’emotional’ as a problem. They see their emotions as a nuisance getting in the way of logical goals. Emotions are annoying things that slow their progress. I remember a girl gamer of eighteen. She even dressed like a geek, yet hidden underneath was a smart and potentially ‘deadly’ woman. In a series of extended conversations all her comments were logical. She was terrified of making connections with people. She was worried about what people thought about her. I had to use reverse logic. I said: “I could have sat anywhere but I have chatted with you for an hour. Why would that be?” She looked pensive and said, in a doubting manner: “Because you like me.” — “Yes!!!” was my emphatic answer. She could not see that others might like her. It was also after covid, so she had been couped up for a couple of years in an important stage of her life. I explained that as a girl of eighteen, she did not need to make introductions. All she had to do is walk up to people and they would start the conversation. She changed dramatically over a few weeks and became powerful. She changed her hair and dress style and became an ‘eye-catcher’. She developed her manner to put men off balance at will. Once she recognized her ‘power’, she became a shining light. I hope it goes well for her.
Irrespective, emotions can make us freeze in fear, or simply mess with our judgements. Emotions can lead us to take actions that are illegal or inappropriate. We can do things we regret.
When I raced speedway motorcycles as a young man of twenty-eight, fear could be overwhelming to the point of feeling sick before racing on a Friday night.
Part of the solution was to not eat from lunchtime. Reason also said that if an operation was needed in the event of an accident, an empty stomach was useful! The other part of the solution was to get used to operating under high adrenalin. I used to do very scary things just to get used to operating under high levels of adrenalin. I suppose I never fully grew up as even today I looked over some very high glass fences in shopping centres to ‘scare the shit’ out of myself. I won’t tell you now some of the scary things I used to do to strengthen my ability to operate under high stress.
It is necessary to monitor the feelings associated with the emotions occurring within. Irrespective, never forget that the reptile brain is a complete operating system for operating every function of your body. Your neocortex as on the t-shirt image is a bundle of nonsense that attempts to tell the reptile brain what to do. You cannot get past the fact that is is the reptile brain that carries out all your actions. You cannot get past the fact that it is your reptile brain that creates all the messages in the form of feelings that feed the neocortex with information on which to act. I must have been sat here for an hour and barely noticed that the seat was hard. but I am getting annoying messages that my bum is about to go numb. I’ll have to stop and go some place else. The annoyance is hindering the writing of this passage. My neocortex has decided to complete the cocoa and go due to the interruptive nature of the annoying message about my numb bum. The weather says that it is minus sixteen centigrade and six kilometres an hour.

But although emotionality has historically been portrayed as the fiery and foolish nemesis of reason and rationality, emotions are fundamental to our ability to function. They motivate us to act, are essential to social interactions, and form the bedrock of our felt sense of morality.
Emotional intelligence can provide a significant advantage for mastering our emotions. In this post, we’ll get up close with emotional intelligence to find out what it is, why it’s valuable, and how you can cultivate more of it.
