Again, you're gonna have to nail down the examples that you are deeming as irrational. I addressed some examples above were not irrational, and described some that are irrational. The irrational forms of self-sacrifice listed above are objectively bad as they relate to society. Saying that something is irrational, isn't enough to know whether or not its morally bad. I would need more information than that.
Example:
Bleeding can be a sign of serious injury. I could give countless examples of when blood is indicitive of something bad.
If you asked me..."Is bleeding bad?"
I would have to know exactly what instance you were inquiring about. I can also think of examples when bleeding or blood would NOT be bad.
Do you understand?
