Emotional Intelligence is Bullsh*t



Emotional intelligence sounds like a scientific concept until you try to find out what it actually means.

Different definitions include emotion recognition, self-control, empathy, personality, social skills, relationship quality, leadership and your own opinion of how emotionally competent you are. Some tests even decide that an answer is correct because it matches the majority—which is a very strange way to measure intelligence.

In this video, I take the whole thing apart. What if “emotional intelligence” is not one ability at all? What if, in ordinary life, it often means the ability and willingness to perform your social role correctly: read the room, suppress the wrong response, produce the expected emotion and keep everybody comfortable?

And if you understand exactly what somebody feels and what they want from you, but refuse to provide the required response, is that low emotional intelligence—or did the social interface simply fail to control you?

  2. Hello Maledicta 👋
    Like usually after a certain time after having watched your video, thoughts comes to my mind

    With the "emotional intelligence" it's like with the Ego, there are different definitions.
    And like with the Ego your definition makes sense to me.

    If i would have been asked what "emotional intelligence" is, the closest definition would be to have a good understanding of the information i get from my emotions and having the capacity to be aware of the emotions others have.

    I make the distinction between emotions that comes before i think and those who are a product of my thoughts, i can trust the first ones but those who come from the mind can be infected by the Cordyceps.
    It's also important that i put my emotional well being first, not because i'm selfish but because it's a healthy way to function.
    But it's more using my intelligence to handle my emotions well, the term talent would be more appropriate.

    It's like having a good ear for music, do we talk about musical intelligence ? Or is it a talent?
    There's where i get stuck with my definition, it doesn't match.

    By using my definition i'm not thinking about being socially acceptable, for eg if i feel that the best for me and for the other is to walk away without saying anything, i'm not acceptable from the System point of view that would demand that i override the information i get from my emotions to fit in.

    That's what i was taught and that's why your definition, Maledicta, is the one i can recognize from my experience, like i did with your definition of the Ego, brilliant 👏✨

    I'm more and more convinced that the best way to get rid of the Cordyceps is to learn to listen to the emotions that come from the body, where no thinking is involved and therefore i don't see how it's possible to talk about "intelligence" that needs to think using my definition of emotions.

    Because when i think, using the information i get from those emotions, that by definition can't be infected from the Cordyceps, i gain clarity and i don't play after the rules of the System.

    I would love to hear what you think about that, Maledicta 🙏

    Thank you very much for the inspiration 🙏💕😊

  3. Hey Marina, I've commented on many of your other videos over the time you've been making online videos, but I don't know if you took my last comment the wrong way when it was supposed to be sarcasm. Please let me know if you've hidden me or not. I respect your work greatly which is why I show up here still.

  4. emotional intelligence is just cognitive empathy which high functioning psychopaths also often possess. understanding human emotions doesn't mean caring about them.

  5. In SCD where people scales the intelligence of the fictional characters. They also scale emotional intelligence too and they actually scale it like every other intelligence when its hard to do and not everyone can do it then it means it reflects higher emotional intelligence so its only like you explained in therapy language

  6. A lot of these invented concepts such as "emotional intelligence" are manipulative. Certain parties can brand a person as having a lack of emotional intelligence is such a person disagrees with the party line. If someone pushes a new and invented term then always question WHY. By just accepting the new term then you are tacitly accepting a change in the way that reality is described. I remember back in the 1980s when I questioned the new term "positive discrimination". I asked if you could also have "positive assault" or "positive murder"? More recently, attempts have been made to force absurd and invented gender terminology upon us all. Redefining language is a weapon…….
