We are all subject to interrupt driven response under certain circumstances, from the blink response to pain to status threat to mere disapproval etc. The question is where on that spectrum does reason add value.
Language and norm provide commensurability and the illusion of greater shared values than exists in demonstrated behavior.
We have learned all to precisely just how fast logic and reason decline with intelligence. Which is a bit more obvious. But we have also learned just how quickly agency decays into impulse. And this is a little bit more complicated.
