How Irrational Are You?

RE: How Irrational Are You?
I like your three choices. :-)
For me, it all depends on how much sleep I've had.

Totally Rational: The fact of God's existence is an inescapable fact/utter bullshit. My position is the result of rationally applied rationality. Next to me, the Star Trek character Spock is woo-wielding tree-hugger. I will never understand those who irrationally hold positions which conflict with my carefully reasoned positions. Idiots.

50/50: I am rational enough to permit myself moments of unbridled spontaneity. Life isn't a test. The heart wants what the heart wants. I identify as much with the creature I am that does the wanting as I do the brain which analyzes its reasonableness. Fortunately I'm not a psychopath so I also honor my impulses to avoid harming others or trampling their dreams. Rational thought is a hell of a tool when it helps us get what we want. I take some pride in my ability to use it well.

Total Irrationality, Baby!: Stick it to the man. Be the artist you were meant to be or give it up, toe the line and mind everyone else's business instead. The choice is yours. Who is to say what is rational? Irrational is the new rational. Don't let them should all over you. Seize the moment. Carpe some deim. Fold, spindle and mutilate as the spirit moves you. Yeah, we're all that.

I'll pick all 3 for different situations, even though total irrationality applies few times, perhaps when I get drunk on purpose to enjoy.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

As rational as you can expect anyone going by the name of Insanity to be.
