"Anger might feel just and warranted, but you're dumber angry than you are calm"
This is true, perhaps of all emotions. Studies have consistently found that people facing money troubles score lower in IQ tests. This is directly a consequence of the stress created, clouding our mind/judgement.
It's one of the reasons I have advocated for a UBI or NIT in my writings, freeing people up from this stress unlocks their potential.
A good point. Although I personally feel like anger is the most crippling to my reasoning abilities, even lower levels of anxiety stop me from being totally clear-minded. Probably the same for lust/infatuation/love.
