What ? This is so misguided. Buddhists are not trying to 'regulate emotions' they are trying to understand what causes internal conflicts and nature of thought.
The western image of the monk suppressing all emotions via meditation is so absurd( even if that was possible by some miracle). Meditation is examination not supression or control.
>“We looked at wisdom and its synonyms, like sagacity, and antonyms, like foolishness, folly,” says Jeste. “We wanted to find out how many times those words were used and more importantly in what context in the Gita.”
They defined what wisdom means and went looking for it. Classic case of confirmation bias. Their definition of wisdom is so generic (eg:: having pragmatic knowledge of life) that there is no way it could have failed to confirm what they were looking for.
It gets more silly
