Reason is the late arrival even in evolutionary terms. Man seems to be the only living thing we know to possess it. It also seems that the function of reason is inhibitory. It serves to override the emotions and stop us from acting on the immediate emotional "value" of the present. It helps us subordinate what feels good to what makes sense.

"The MOQ says that science's empirical rejection of biological and social values is not only rationally correct, it is also morally correct because the intellectual patterns of science are of a higher evolutionary order than the old biological and social patterns.
But the MOQ also says that DQ - the value force that chooses an elegant mathematical solution to a laborious one, or a brilliant experiment over a confusing, inconclusive one - is another matter altogether. Dynamic Quality is a higher moral order that static scientific truth, and it is as immoral fro philosophers of science to try to suppress DQ as it is for church authorities to suppress scientific method. Dynamic value is an integral part of science. It is the cutting edge of scientific progress itself."
