Many people believe that we humans are rational animals. However, I think that reason had a birth date afterwords (it took off at the illustration). That is, we first became humans and then we learned how to be rational. Most people think that they are rational but that is probably less than 0.5% of their time and mostly to self justify irrational thoughts. So,in a sense, people are 99% irrational. Here are some Qs.
Does reason have a purpose? When was its exact birth date? How did people think before reason? How did they see the universe? Did reason make people happier? What other alternatives to reason exists? What are the pros and cons of reason? What causes reason, biochemistry, order, attitude, etc? Other Qs you may have? |

Well, I thought the post was not going to create negative reactions but it did. Now people feel defensive and even feel judged.
I'll wait a couple days and post some of myanswers. Relax and cool down. |
