Quote:ir·ra·tion·al [ih-rash-uh-nl] Show IPA
adjective
1.without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason.
2.without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
3.not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments.
4.not endowed with the faculty of reason: irrational animals.
A purely instinctive belief is without reason but not necessarily against reason or depriving oneself of reason.
I'd just say, "it's purely instinctive" but your call what you want to call it.
I appreciate that I'm not annoying.
