Excerpt: Cognitive processors sometimes fail to convey an empathic understanding of an issue, while emotive processors tend to be overwhelmed with empathic feelings about it. The real disconnect starts when emotive interpretation neglects the facts, and cognitive understanding fails to recognize the feelings. In debate, this constitutes the proverbial mix of oil and water — which are quick to separate. Frankly, it's extremely important to have the capacity to both think and feel in order to cognitively contemplate a position and then express it effectively to someone who's emotively entrenched in a contrary position. [Here’s an interesting idea for a counter question to someone chanting “(fill in the blank) Lives Matter!” Ask them to point their finger at anyone present whose life DOESN’T matter. But, don’t be shocked if they point directly back at you. That’s their real message, and your skin color has almost nothing to do with their answer if you “think wrongly.” Ron P.]
