We could use addressing climate change as a specific example. We could zero out batshit non reasons for opposing this or that solution….and that’s probably what we’re thinking about when we say that if we were more rational we could solve the problem tomorrow.
However, there would still be entirely logical reasons to oppose or withhold support for any of those solutions. Those are the harder ones, the ones where we need to do a lot of basic work, still, to overcome hesitancy.
Insomuch, I think, as more or full reason might lead to a hellscape it won’t be on account of that being an essential attribute of rationality or full rationality- but that we’d be even better at pursuing our goals than we currently are. The goals might still be shit.
