Zeno, I do agree that the heart and mind are often in conflict. The left-brained mind wanting to keep things logical, while the right-brained heart wants to feel and understand.

I've often felt that conflict myself. Steven Universe does express it well, with the rocky relationship that Pearl (White Diamond's pearl) and Amethyst often have. They're the opposite of each other in so many ways that finding a common ground often seems impossible.

Yet when they get together, they form Opal, a fusion of amazing power, and far more capable than anything Pearl and Amethyst could do on their own, even working together.

I often go on and on about the powers of the right brain and using creative thinking in theorizing. But it's also tempered by the left brain too, so the creative stream of ideas doesn't just fly off into space somewhere, but stays directed towards the goal of finding answers within the real of possiblity.

As much as both the mind and the heart might not want to admit it.. they are much more powerful when they work together.
