    I thought were were discussing rationality. It seems like you are saying humans are not rational because they are also irrational, and I’m saying that the only reason we exist as we do today is because of lots of rational plans and decisions. Ultimately we’re both rational and irrational as a species. The fact that it’s much harder to argue that we’re rational in this current moment in time is what vexes me. It’s definitely a change. Facts made a much bigger impact 20 years ago.

        You might be onto something here. I’m not sure though. I have a feeling it’s complicated and something we won’t fully understand any time soon.

          Just want to chime in with something; this is one of the most respectful, mutually considerate discussions I’ve seen on the internet in recent memory and y’all should be proud.

            Thanks. The user I was talking to here was quite reasonable and that made it easy for me to reciprocate.
