Rationally proving rationality
#4
RE: Rationally proving rationality
Perhaps there is an importance of such "philosobabble". Without understanding why we understand or what we understand, we can't truly understand. Understand?

Ill-humored jokes aside, my purpose in posting this thread is to have the audience rationally prove to themselves that rationality is the correct way to think about things. In my experience, it can't be done because of subjective opinion leading to perceived superiority. But once again, I'm more interested in other's opinions as opposed to my own.

Thanks for the replies though.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
