[Yes, sentiment, Mr. Holmes. Everything you do is sentiment. Even when it goes with, quite frankly, terrible morals.
Could you possibly offend him any more, Mr. Carsen? Mycroft's outright scowling now.
Because Flynn's right. He hit it right on the mark, even if he refuses to let himself admit how much emotion guides his actions.
You know what your problem is? You think emotion and intelligence are incompatible. You act like feeling something might literally make you dumber. If that were true, your intelligence would be quite vulnerable, don't you think?]
Mr. Carsen, you may...think you have a...proper grasp on things, but you're completely off the mark.
Emotion clouds intelligence. Emotion causes people to do terrible things, make snap decisions with faulty reasoning--ever see someone in the throes of fight or flight? Tell me, how much are they thinking and how much of that is their lizard brain desperately trying to preserve themselves?
...unlike everyone else, I can move past, yes, whatever temporary emotions I may have been suffering in the moment. Everyone else, including you, is projecting their own fears onto a perfectly logical inquiry.
You think your analysis makes you sound so...intelligent. It's a good try. But any student who's read their first psychology book could have come up with that. It's amusing, really.
