is an interesting statement.
Because we live in a world of fads anyway. This even though peoples' minds are not easily changed by facts.
- the_greyd 8y agoLet me rephrase that: it would be a world where we would become extinct quickly. I am convinced that extreme rationality has evolutionary disadvantages. So the emphasis on rationality only makes sense in a modern society when you can in some sense override your biological programming since you don't have to fight a bear and hunt etc.
