118 - Love Vs Logic

I've been trying to figure out why many of us MGTOWs come here to youtube each and every day seeking out answers. The more videos I produce the more I shut down some deep part of my empathetic self and the more logical and Spock like I become. As I do this I leave love behind and the chemical illusion it creates in me my mind. More and more logic and reason are coming to dominate our existence. Now I want to read the first paragraph from an article entitled the "Brain Can't Empathize And Analyze At Same Time, New Study." I'm putting a link to it in the description below and this is the opening paragraph: "Scientists have discovered that the brain circuits we engage when we think about social matters, such as considering other people's views, or moral issues, inhibit the circuits that we use when we think about inanimate, analytical things, such as working on a physics problem or making sure the numbers add up when we balance our budget. And they say, the same happens the other way around: the analytic brain network inhibits the social network." The study is believed to be the first to show that humans have a built in neural constraint that stops us thinking emphatically and analytically at the same time. Apparently when humans are in a restful state and they don't have some daunting mental challenge to solve they become more emotional and empathetic. After two decades of seeking love in my life I've realized that I've sought it out at the cost of my own rational self. There were times over the last twenty years where I saw a glimmer of logic and reason mostly through my work. In some portions of my life where I started heading down the long and narrow path towards making myself happy. But the desire for love and empathy stood in front of that. The desire to love and be loved came to dominate my existence. Roughly seventy to eighty percent of my existence was devoted to being empathetic. And twenty to thirty percent of my existence was directed to reason and logic. Logic was the slave to love. I used logic and reason to gain access to love. I worked just hard enough to attract women with material things and I had no idea they were more interested in what I could provide instead of who I was.Brain Can't Empathize And Analyze At Same Time, New Studyhttp://www.medicalnewstoday.com/artic...Empathy -- A Vital Component of Lovehttp://www.all-creatures.org/tch/empa...Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
