I think this is exactly right. It also fits with what OP was saying that it is liberating to be in an environment where you can express your feelings like that.
Ylu shouldn't always just blurt out your gomut reactions, but if you have an environment of mutual trust, it's understandably a nice thing to be able to do.
And communicating those emotions is probably the most valuable thing a human can ever do! Those emotions is how you got where you are, they are what guide you when you yourself reason, not communicating them and helping others understand how you think and reason is such a waste!
Instead people here argue that we should be cold, make sure we don't communicate any emotions since then others might pick up on that, and boy it would be bad if others understands of you think! Really? Why would that be so bad?
I'm interested in what even is the name of the emotion underlying "that idea is stupid". Is it surprise? Frustration? Anxiety?
I think it is valuable to communicate the thinking parts, not just the emotional parts. That was the main point I wanted to make.
Why not:
tzs: we should try X.
someone: that can't work because of some reason
[...]
We have emotions, and sometimes an emotion tells us an idea is bad, and that is more economical than analyzing carefully why an idea cannot work to ultimately arrive at the same conclusion that our gut already made.
But sometimes your gut can be misleading, and sometimes it is worth putting in the work to possibly discover an incorrect assumption. In both of those examples I don't really see any communication about the reason why something ultimately works or doesn't work. All I see is people thinking to themselves.
