This isn't about the scientific method

2018-05-01 07:28:19 UTC  

are you just trying to make a post structuralism argument

2018-05-01 07:28:23 UTC  

This about things that matter to your day to day

2018-05-01 07:28:35 UTC  

like "Who are you voting for for president" and "where am I going to live at"

2018-05-01 07:28:40 UTC  

All of that is decided irrationally

2018-05-01 07:28:41 UTC  

Every time

2018-05-01 07:28:55 UTC  

not necessarily

2018-05-01 07:28:56 UTC  

Humans aren't rational beings. Our minds didn't evolve to see truth, they evolved to keep us alive

2018-05-01 07:29:14 UTC  

This is why you can have a Muslim who believes Muhammed went to heaven going to the grocery store with an atheist who doesn't believe any of that

2018-05-01 07:29:16 UTC  

rational can mean doing things that we feel are in our best interest

2018-05-01 07:29:16 UTC  

Who's right?

2018-05-01 07:29:23 UTC  

so ill vote obama because he will make me feel good

2018-05-01 07:29:25 UTC  

Things that you *feel*

2018-05-01 07:29:30 UTC  

thats rational

2018-05-01 07:29:32 UTC  

And that's where the irrationally kicks in

2018-05-01 07:29:35 UTC  

Nope

2018-05-01 07:29:37 UTC  

It never is

2018-05-01 07:29:50 UTC  

You only think it is because of things like confirmatiuon bias and cognitive dissonance

2018-05-01 07:30:03 UTC  

Oh wait i misread

2018-05-01 07:30:05 UTC  

But yeah

2018-05-01 07:30:06 UTC  

go back to your human studies class kid.

2018-05-01 07:30:08 UTC  

We're agreeing essentially

2018-05-01 07:30:14 UTC  

Shane how old are you

2018-05-01 07:30:21 UTC

2018-05-01 07:30:26 UTC  

thats where he gets his political commentary

2018-05-01 07:30:39 UTC  

Shane is what's known as the "Lone Penguin" in my field

2018-05-01 07:30:48 UTC  

Theyre the people who don't have anything of value to add to the conversation

2018-05-01 07:30:50 UTC  

what major are you

2018-05-01 07:30:58 UTC  

I've been out of college for a while

2018-05-01 07:31:13 UTC  

what do you mean by your field

2018-05-01 07:31:20 UTC  

But the lone penguin is someone who comes in like "LOL btw dont listen to this guy he doesn't know what hes talking about"

2018-05-01 07:31:24 UTC  

And then they leave

2018-05-01 07:31:27 UTC  

The Lone Penguin

2018-05-01 07:31:35 UTC  

Persuasion

2018-05-01 07:31:46 UTC  

human beings arent entirely irrational

2018-05-01 07:31:49 UTC  

I use persuasion on a professional level. There's like 4 different levels

2018-05-01 07:32:02 UTC  

Amateur, Professional, Commerical, and Master PErsuader

2018-05-01 07:32:06 UTC  

feelings are sure but dealing with them isn't necessarily

2018-05-01 07:32:07 UTC  

*typos

2018-05-01 07:32:28 UTC  

We like to think humans are rational about 90 percent of the time and like 10 percent of the time we get irrational

2018-05-01 07:32:34 UTC  

The truth is it's the opposite
