      If half of all people aren’t rational, then there’s no use making policy decisions based on what a rational person would think. The law should protect everyone.

          There’s a push for medical suicide for people with severe illness. People famously jumped to their deaths from the world trade center rather than burn alive. Rationality is only a point if view. You can rationalize decisions as much as you like but there is no such thing as right or wrong.

          Your right, no one has any rationality at all which is why we live in a world where so much stuff actually gets done.

          Why is someone with deep wisdom and insights such as yourself wasting their time here on lemmy?

            What stuff is “getting done” exactly? Is stuff that people want, but ultimately they have irrational reasons for wanting it.

      Ah yes, the famous adage, “the only rational people are in my specific age and demographic bracket. Everyone else is fucking insane”
