In the first call of the 6/16 Freedomain Radio Sunday Show, Stefan Molyneux talks about combating emotional manipulation, being direct, telling people what you want and the value of real emotion.
Well emotions by themself are not "irrational", not all emotional feelings are irrational, it's just that our brain was evolved 30 000 years ago and some concepts of reality which we regularly use today is not properly solved with emotions. Emotion can be irrational because it is not based on reason for it's conclusion but the evolved "instincts" (wouldn't really call them that) that helped us survive and strive.
