It's interesting to me that you categorize irrationality with mental illness. I feel wuite the opposite. people make decisions based on many factors: logic, yes, but also past experience, common heuristics, mood, and situational context. A lot of what education is supposed to do is shape your instincts towards what is productive: there's no particular reason that reading history in my spare time should _feel_ productive, but it does. That feeling was shaped by my education. We've all been trained to think of arguments as logic. They're not; they're a conflict of mindsets, fully fleshed out states of being. Arguments are a facades on beliefs - states of being. That's not an illness; that's being human.
