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

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

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

Who's right?

so ill vote obama because he will make me feel good

Things that you *feel*

thats rational

And that's where the irrationally kicks in

Nope

It never is

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

Oh wait i misread

But yeah

go back to your human studies class kid.

We're agreeing essentially

Shane how old are you

shane watches ben shapiro rekt videos

thats where he gets his political commentary

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

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

what major are you

I've been out of college for a while

what do you mean by your field

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"

And then they leave

The Lone Penguin

Persuasion

human beings arent entirely irrational

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

Amateur, Professional, Commerical, and Master PErsuader

feelings are sure but dealing with them isn't necessarily

*typos

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

The truth is it's the opposite

We're irrational 90 percent of the time, and we're rational about 10 percent about things that don't really matter or have no emotional baggage to them

Like, you'll be rational about doing your taxes

ill rationally vote for someone based off of my irrational normative values

But you won't be rational about picking your favorite player or picking your career or your wife or literally anything that will matter to you

for example if they support socialism

i vote them

its rational but its rooted in feelings
