A check

On this lesson, why does the advice to think about the consequences fail at the moment it is most needed?

Because people who get angry do not care about consequencesBecause the part of you that weighs consequences is least available once arousal is highBecause thinking is a weak response to a strong feelingBecause the consequences are usually not that bad
Not quite

It is a timing problem, not a character problem. Weighing outcomes is slow work, and it is the first thing to become unreachable as arousal climbs. That is the whole reason for building the course around an early physical cue rather than around good intentions held in the moment.
