Why would a 100% rational being have reason to be skeptical…and supposing that they were, do we imagine that they’d find themselves to be wrong if they did look?
Just spitballing, just suggesting that maybe a full rationality doesn’t look anything like people would generally imagine. That it wouldn’t actually solve people’s pet issues with humanity, but exacerbate them.
Might also make us more of things we like, too, ofc. A more rational appraisal and expectations of love could hardly be expected to make us love less or make love worth less or more shallow. More us, I suspect, is what being better at what we do would do to us. More of the good, more of the bad, just more.
