Congratulations on successfully breaking through an open door, I guess.
When people think of “emotion” and “rationality” as opposed, I suspect that they are really thinking of System 1 and System 2 — fast perceptual judgments versus slow deliberative judgments. Deliberative judgments aren’t always true, and perceptual judgments aren’t always false; so it is very important to distinguish that dichotomy from “rationality”. Both systems can serve the goal of truth, or defeat it, according to how they are used.
Not in my experience. It may seem like it now, but that’s because the postrationalists won the argument.
