If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?
#41
RE: If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?
I would agree in simple terms that 100% rational forethought does not equal better, in any colloquial sense. It would definitely be less reactionary and thus potentially less violent, in the short term. It might, in the long term, put a cap on births and find it easier to justify genocide in a longer view.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
