RE: Rationally proving rationality

I just noticed a fallacy in the original quote there - which states "Even rationality is grounded in a leap of intuition."

Is it? Says who?

Like you say it is an exeicise of reason and reason is based on identification of reality. And reality, what is real, is based on facts and testable, repeatable evidence.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
