Interesting how MM draws conclusions that so often seem to be opposite of a more rational POV—in this instance, a far more rational POV, based on currently available neuroscience and evidence, would be that “emotion” is the source of the most powerful “beliefs,” especially irrational beliefs that may guide our "cognitive behavior choices.”

For example, I think it may just be a rather nasty case of phonemophobia that is a source of MM’s irrational beliefs that “rationality is worthless in terms of behavior choice,” that “knowing is [merely] an emotional process.”
