Part 3/10:
The lesson explores the idea that humans are essentially emotional creatures. Human decisions often stem from emotions rather than pure logic. While traditional views may argue that humans are logical beings, the instructor emphasizes that the emotional brain predates logical reasoning from an evolutionary perspective.
A significant aspect of human behavior highlighted in the lesson is the phenomenon of “amygdala hijacking,” where emotional responses can overpower rational thought. Emotions drive daily decisions and actions, making it crucial to acknowledge that understanding human emotions is pivotal when considering systems.
