Assume that the reason people evolved the capacity for emotions is that they act as an efficient heuristic to process scenarios which are uncomputable otherwise (high number of variables, unknown relationship between events, etc.). Does this suggest that the emotional response to an idea can be used as an indicator for it's actual merits, when no other method is available? If so, does this mean automatically disregarding emotional arguments is purposeful ignorance?
