@christi I enjoy your series. Objective rationalism is like an extinct species in our society. Keep it up.

it is, I agree. but it lies in each and one of us' powers to develop it. it doesnt come naturally. we are not born with rationalism. we develop it, same as we develop other skills. we are driven by habits, biases and heuristics . it is okay in some situations. but we should raise above our evolutionary nature by through self-education. the paradox: we have all the means available for free, and most of us dont do it.

most people prefer to be on nature's autopilot. it makes sense. thinking is hard.
