Q. About Rationality and Nature
#2
RE: Q. About Rationality and Nature
Nature is neither rational or irrational, just as tacos are neither cosmopolitan nor hungry.

So I'm thinking "c", arational. The concept of rationality doesn't apply to that which simply is.

I think intelligent beings derive their reason from the attempts over the eons to perceive and predict nature accurately. Selection, being a difficult taskmaster, mercilessly winnows those whose minds don't comport with reality.
