Summary/Abstract: A resistance to populism – stimulating the primary system of regulation – is analyzed in relation to the emotional brain model of LeDoux. It is argued that the primary system (which evokes egotistic motivation and mindless behavior) can be dominated – if a subject develops a reflective system of evaluation. This requires the subject’s intellectual activity: 1) deliberative thinking and analyses, 2) understanding of abstract concepts, 3) verbalization of conceptual evaluative standards.
