Well, let's not self-delusion ourselves too much:) In his book, The Secret of Our Success, anthropologist Joseph Henrich has an interesting take on this subject.
Quoting Scott Alexander's book review*:
"Reason has been the villain of the human narrative, a corrosive force that tempts people away from adaptive behaviour towards choices that “sounded good at the time”. [..] In giving humans reason at all, evolution took a huge risk. [..] So evolution removed those genes from the population, and successful cultures stigmatized them enough to give people an internalized fear of even trying.
Prof. T. W. Murphy points out** that only 10% of humanity consists of logical abstract thinkers (NT profiles). The rest, (my words) the vast majority (the ST-SF gene pool) are primarily sentients. Short-term-minded-seeing & feeling-is-believing (aka emotional) beings.
