>>10959156I don't know if Emotional Intelligence is really what's relevant to what I'm about to mention.
Computers are analogous to Brains, in many ways.
Many similarities can be drawn between Logic Gates and the combinations of Synapse junctions between Neurons.
Living things also have Voltage-Gated Ion Channels (in many places, not just the Brain), which act to amplify electrical signals, similar to the operation of Transistors.
I've recently come across concepts of "working memory" and "long term memory", which is sounds a lot like RAM and an HDD.
Maybe people with high emotional intelligence, or a high degree self awareness, are capable of greater control over certain aspects of their "hardware".
Fields which study the Brain could be analogous to how different programming languages interact at varying degrees with machine code. Perhaps Psychology is understanding and programming of the Brain using a "high-level language".
Emotions and psychology are important to understand, because they impact a lot outcomes in life for people. They also might play a role in "improving" certain aspects of mental/physical performance. But I get that a lot of studies in those kinds of areas are hard to replicate, and stuff like that.
