Commentary "'Don't think, feel!' Bruce Lee's character exhorts his young son in Enter the Dragon (1973) as he teaches him to trust his instincts while learning to fight. By contrast, Ayn Rand favored 'Don't feel, think!' when she wrote, 'People don't want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think.' Like Plato, Rand proudly privileged reason over emotion. But which is the better approach for making decisions, Lee's feeling intuitively or Rand's thinking rationally? According to Jonah Lehrer in How We Decide, they're both right." (05/30/12)
