Reason Should Guide Quotes

“The job of... feelings is to convey to the organism what's good for it and what's bad for it. ...
Feelings are designed to encode judgements about things in our environment. Typically these judgements are about whether these things are good or bad for the survival of the organism... though sometimes they're about whether these things are good or bad for close kin - notably offspring - since close kin share so many genes.
We could say feelings are "false" or "illusory" if they lead the organism astray - if following the feelings leads to things that are bad for the organism.”
― Robert Wright, Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment
