This was the second part of the psychology lesson; while humans, like other animals, tend towards irrationality, what separates us from the animals (if you will allow me to use one of this most overused phrase) is that we have generally been able to get off the "automatic mode" and defy genetic and natural tendencies through reason and a reasonable, rational body of common knowledge. The fact of the matter is, while we may not have the brains to do it by default, we do have calculus. Thanks very much! Wonderful; that’s what I suspected you would say.
