I'm a reason-oriented person, and math played a big role in my life. Today it seems to have emerged a paradigm shift in which EQ plays a higher role than IQ, because our capacity to interact is basically determined by EQ and not by IQ. So emotions and the capacity to interpret them in others are very important in a highly social culture online and offline, and they don't have to be about raging against something.

Otherwise I agree, sometimes we need to take a step back, take a breath and analyze things unemotionally, based on logic. We rarely take the time to do that these days and are driven in a "talk first and think later" scenario.
