Typed up a post for the thread just before it was deleted. For once I'm going to ghost-post in the archives with what I wrote.
>>96669010I'll do my best to answer OP in Jungian terms.
The mind has four pillars:
- Intuition. This is the part of the mind that detects whether something fits with solid, well time-tested concepts that we have innately built into us. It's neither logical nor rational, but it's fast and has an impressive success rate.
- Sense. This is your five senses and the basic mentality behind them, detecting literal blunt facts about the world as best as your given organs can detect them. This is strictly illogical but perfectly rational. There's no rhyme or reason to the material chaos of the world, but looking in literal terms will give you perfect proportions.
- Thought. This is the most conscious and most taxing process of the mind and the one we associate most with the mind itself, as well as with the individual "thinker". It's both logical and rational, and thus the best equipped to make pristine sense of a situation, but has a potential for catastrophic errors when misapplied.
- Emotions. This is the other highly-personal function of the mind and certainly the most subjective. It operates almost entirely reactionarily to inform you as to whether a given outcome or state is agreeable or not. This is actually the most purely logical part of the mind, but the least rational - there is no proportionality to emotion, only binary "yes/no" in a very acontextual fashion, but perfect follow-through of motivated reasoning.
