To be able to properly reason in a situtaion, the human brain relies on emotions and memory. When an especially stressful event happens the human brain responds by not only sending signals to release adrenaline but to also release other hormones that make attention to detail greater so that when placed in the situtaion again, or one like it, you can properly respond. If memory is flawed, then reasoning cannot be properly relied on in any situation. If emotion is flawed, then reasoning cannot be properly relied on in any situation. I have a horrible memory. And I guess my emotions are someone more eratic than others. Is memory to blame for my poor choices? If I can't help myself...then why is my advice and reasoning for others much greater then advice and reasoning for myself?
