Must we be rational?
March 12, 2013 at 10:48 am
If rationality is just a biologically adaptive feature of the human body - why should we let it rule our lives?

If rationality is just a biological feature that can help us pass on our seed, can we really claim anything to be objectively good or bad?

(PS I do not advocate being irrational)
