Would you mind providing evidence of a scenario in which it's good to be irrational? Because it sounds like you have some level of distaste for being rational, but I'm not seeing any source to back that up.

No, that's a frankly absurd request. What is or is not "good" is not something sourceable, it's an entirely subjective question. What makes you think everything has some definitive source?

Excuse you, I'm being polite here and you're calling me absurd. Can't a person have a civil conversation without devolving into name-calling? And why haven't you given a source? Are you unable to back up your claims, or are you unwilling to engage in rational dialogue?

I'm sorry, but if you want me to remain what you'd define as civil, you're going to need to be reasonable, not ridiculous. You haven't answered my question. Where does this belief all things are sourceable come from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have been unfailingly polite and you're being rude, calling me ridiculous just for trying to engage in rational debate. Sources are the backbone of reasoned discussion, and if you're unwilling to engage in that, maybe don't make such bold claims in public.

You seem to have a proclivity for making sweeping generalizations and overarching statements. You're not actually the God-King of the Universe, though, fyi. Regardless, I apologize for not meeting your standards for explaining my own anecdotal experiences.

Alright, I think this has gone on long enough. Thanks for playing along.

You did get me a little riled up a few posts ago. The switch to rationality vs irrationality was a good one. lol
