you should talk more about your feelings and less about your ideas

not because feelings have metaphysically primacy over ideas, just from the practical matter that you are more likely to be misinformed about your ideas (that is, there is falsity in the ideas themselves and your understanding of the nature of what those ideas truly are)

hm i dislike how i made this an issue of epistemology. in some ways its a statement of contextual emotivism (sometimes your ideas are actually feelings) and an instruction to pay attention to those emotions and take them seriously on their own terms rather than bringing your own arbitrary material

i don't think its easier to know or to articulate emotions

what i meant to be saying was that in the case of an emotional cause of a position, you're not going to get anywhere closer to understanding what's going on by investigating the position itself, and in that way if you begin at the right location it is easier to come to appropriate knowledge
