r/Fitness does a weekly "Moronic Monday", a judgment-free thread where people can ask questions that they would ordinarily feel embarrassed for not knowing the answer to. I thought this seemed like a useful thing to have here - after all, the concepts discussed on LessWrong are probably at least a little harder to grasp than those of weightlifting. Plus, I have a few stupid questions of my own, so it doesn't seem unreasonable that other people might as well.
I can see what you mean, but I'm afraid that the furthest I can go in agreement is to say that few if any people do do that (or have any idea how)*. We're certainty poverty-stricken WRT tools for taking responsibility for our own thoughts and emotions. I would argue though that that does not change what responsibilities we do have.
* BTW in a strict sense I don't think it's actually that important how you feel in response to an event, as long as you respond appropriately, just that it's useful to treat "experiencing disproportionate emotions" as a flag that one of your habits of thinking is disjuncted from reality.
