This is a list of five separate definitions of "reason". Numbers 1 and 5 in the list are in the verb form, and 2, 3 and 4 are in the noun form. You have included two antonyms of the number 1 noun definition of "reason". I don't really see how this adds credibility to your argument.

Those items under the first heading are what we generally refer to as knowledge. Those items under the second heading are things of no general use to others. They can guide our own actions and be shared with friends but why blur the distinction?

Yes, but we'd still be communicating these concepts via textual language in a rationalist straitjacket. I think the following is a good example. Take the profound musical genius of Mozart. Only Mozart had the subjective knowledge of his own abilities. If I was a professor in musicology and had 10 PhDs, all on the topic of Mozart, no matter how hard I endeavoured to analyse and rationalise Mozart's genius, it wouldn't come anywhere near close to understanding Mozart's private knowledge, primarily because Mozart's musical genius is beyond most people's comprehension.

...dude. I pulled those off of dictionary.com

They're just definitions of the words used in the context which they are being used in this argument. The definitions are implied in the argument that contains them. Giving you the definitions is not an addition to the argument, it just seemed as though you did not understand the words.
