Why it's RARE for people to act logically?

Imagine the brain as a crowded intersection where emotions, instincts, and logic intersect. Just like in real traffic, sometimes emotions and instincts can create gridlock, causing logic to take a backseat.

For example, think of a scenario where you're driving and suddenly encounter a detour. Logically, you know you should follow the detour signs, but emotions like frustration or impatience might lead you to ignore the signs and take a shortcut instead. Similarly, in decision-making, emotions and instincts often influence our choices, even if they aren't the most logical ones.

So, just as traffic flow can be influenced by various factors, human behavior is influenced by a complex interplay of emotions, instincts, and logic. While logic is a valuable tool, it's often competing with other factors in the human mind, making purely logical behavior relatively rare.
