    But understanding, predicting, and reacting differently on emotions are all learnable, and very rational.

    For example: don’t punch the TV when you are angry about loosing a game. Instead realise where the anger is coming from. Probably frustration, but why are you so frustrated when you loose? Some frustration is understandable, but what causes so much frustration that it turned into violent anger? And can you predict what actions or circumsfamces may result in that frustration or and anger (e.g. alcohol consumption)?

    The most rational fictional species I know, Vulcans, do not lack emotion. Quite the opposite. But they have learned to control their emotions.

      No no, you’re right

      But often the people that most vehemently stamp their feet about how rational they are, are the most emotionally-driven (and spiteful) motherfuckers in the planet. Cranking about how they are rational beings while being entirely driven by negative emotions from high school times that they never addressed.
