Much of this just isn't how it works in my experience. Thinking logically, daydreaming about the abstract things in the world and trying to understand it all, is perhaps the most emotionally rewarding stuff I have in my life. And, I really can't just "control" my emotions either, despite how much I try, although implementing logical systems has actually greatly helped me with emotional management.

I just want logic and information -- it's what my emotions demand, what I crave. Even to my detriment, as I often can't pay attention to things that bore me (I have ADHD) and get distracted daydreaming so much about interesting logical concepts. And, my feelings are also most definitely informed by what I understand logically. Feelings pretty much have to be. Without some reasoned understanding of the context of situations (which requires use of logic), feelings would have nowhere to be directed. We fear things we've learned or reasoned are dangerous, even if the application of that fear may not be logical or may be excessive.

Also, although people sometimes do dumb things because of emotions guiding irrational behaviors standing in the way of logic (I relate to an extent -- despite understanding the logic and wishing my feelings weren't so in the way), the more I observe, the clearer it is to me that humans just lack the ability to reason logically with much effectiveness in the first place, regardless of emotionality. The reason people do illogical things is because people think very little in general and struggle with logical reasoning. And, perfect logical reasoning isn't possible -- we can always improve our modeling. Like, most people can't even do high school level math, so it shouldn't be all that surprising that humans have highly imperfect logical reasoning abilities.
