how do you know if its all a dream? Because the top doesn't stop spinning.
You need a top for testing rationality. Here's a nearly definitional one: you're being rationale when your explanation convinces people other than just you.
- robgibbons 4y agoBeing convincing does not equal rational. There are many logical fallacies that are convincing on the surface but don't stand up to rational scrutiny.
- NateEag 4y agoWorth pointing out that many logical fallacies are legitimately persuasive, acceptable arguments. They're fallacies because they're not acceptable in a rigorous proof, not because they're entirely without any place in thinking through a problem.
- IIAOPSW 4y agoDefine what it means to be rational in a way that isn't dependent on a consensus among other rational persons. Even science comes down to peer review.
