I can't argue with him. He is not wrong. He simply has a different point of view. I get the logical arguments in favor of his way of thinking. In fact, I could even justify applying his way of thinking to myself.
If someone is unable or unwilling to understand the position of their conversational partner, to the extent that their ability to communicate is inhibited, then this is illogical.
If this is the case then you shouldn't punish yourself for "being illogical", unless you are intentionally maintaining a belief or thought which is relevant to the discussion while simultaneously knowing that there is something wrong with it.
Because of this, the platform is bound to attract many mathematical and logical people. However, it is also a social media site. Therefore, it will attract a lot of emotional people as well.
Neither group is superior to the other. Both are valuable... but it is not an easy mix.
The best results are reached when emotional needs are met through logical means.
To put it another way, when logical methods are used to reach goals determined emotionally.
Your goals are varied but probably include being happy, raising a family and ensuring your own continued existence.
To reach them, you have chosen the best compromise you could think of at the time when your pivotal career choices were forced upon you.
This does not mean that you have chosen the best possible career.
There are perhaps obscure occupations which you didn't think of at the time, would earn you more money, would leave you no more stressed or overworked than you are now, and which you would experience as equally or more fulfilling.

That is a perfect way to state this! Thanks and welcome to the platform!
