Q. About Rationality and Nature

[Confused Ape]

Do you think the whole of nature, as in the primeval substance in which it began to exist, can be deemed either rational, irrational, or arational?

Just throwing in a quote from Carl Sagan here -

“The Universe is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. Our contemplations of the cosmos stir us. There’s a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the grandest of mysteries. The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We’ve begun at last to wonder about our origins, star stuff contemplating the stars. Organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms contemplating the evolution of matter, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on planet Earth and perhaps throughout the cosmos. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos, ancient and vast from which we sprung.” - Carl Sagan (beginning of the Cosmos series)

Explanation of arational.

Arational behavior does not involve reasoning; neither rational nor irrational apply. Autonomic processes are neither irrational nor rational. Behavior over which one has (at least by default) no conscious veto power whatsoever, instinctively blinking when an object comes too close to one's eyes, for example, ducking when one hears a loud explosion, or other stress responses to perceived danger are arational.

My thoughts on the question -

1: The human part of the universe/nature is all three.
2: Stop there because anything else is trying to view the entire universe in human terms.
