Kahneman says you can't think well with emotions and Domasio says that you can't think
without them.  Who is correct on this issue?

Antonio Domasio has noticed that if the basic human instinct of "this is good for me" or "this is
bad for me" is missing from a human brain due to a lesion, then the human might go on and
on without making any decision.  Under some circumstances the lesion might be so that the
person would gamble without feeling the pain of losing and therefore continue to gamble.  A
robot without an "is this good or is this bad" mechanism could not behave any better than the
patients that Kahneman cites.
