I have a particular bone to pick on this topic. Why?
Well I think it starts with the fact that I am a POC. Then it goes on with the fact that I am a strong advocate of reason for philosophical, political and personal reasons.
Sometimes I wonder which is stronger… My preference for reason or my disavowal of non-reason. Now my views are evolving… I am learning about the neurological integration of the processes of let’s say emotion and reason, and that most people are not rational actors and that probably human behavior can never expunge non-rational influences on our thinking and that may be a right and proper thing.
That said, there are unambiguous moments of life that clearly show how screwed up non-reason can be. More later.
