To me, reason is just an instrument we have to make sense of an otherwise arational universe. It's us who give meaning to the world and find patterns in its chaos.

Reason is surely inside our heads; we can't be sure it exists outside of them though.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
