i thought rational meant to be in ratio with reality
We are both irrational.
Some things are objectively not caring about human feelings, like laws of the universe
thats cuz you don't actually agree on it at that point
it's subjective is what @Dr.Wol is saying
Undead
If you thought it was, and someone said otherwise, you'd think them irrational
You misunderstand
Yes, some things are objective.
but you don't believe it yourself, so you call yourself irrational for thinking it
if you hear something you don't agree with, you will think the person saying it is being irrational @Undead Mockingbird
In so far as they cause no contradictions in the models we are able to construct through our empiricism.
that's just how we work
He is saying that rationality is relative to perspective
Humans evloved emotions to survive within a group. Empathy is a hell of a drug.
it might be relative to our understanding of reality yeah
You both would think each other ration if you both believed the sun was made of cheese
Does not mean it is the best tool to apply to everything
THat is the fundamental difference in argumentation between Francis Bacon and Karl Popper.
But no one else would
Otherwise we get glacial feminism or somesuch
bacon poppers
that sounds good
gonna make that sometime
Eh, anyway. I need coffee.
there is objective truth, and there is the attempt to approximate objective truth to the best of our abilities with varying success between individuals
Mongloids are very sleepy.
Scientific method is a far more reliable tool for figuring out stuff that actually works.
if they're sleepy they need coffee 😉
i think someone can objectively be more rational than someone else
you're looking for the word "tiring"
or exhausting
Regardless of how I feel about the hot stove, it will burn my skin all the same
SCIENCE
the thing is, your view of rationality is dictated by your beliefs @NativeInterface
Iksio lel
thats irrational!! everyone knows the reason you get burnt is cuz its actually GODS STOVE, and he's punishing you for touching it @Uksio
well why does that matter?
it results in people having different conclusions about reality
what is reality tho
