    The only goal of being rational is to communicate ideas with others. It’s not something that makes you inherently smart

        Right? I thought it was a sort of self-defence against being swindled, lied to, or otherwise taken advantage of by malicious thought patterns.

        Trying to use reason to communicate - especially with others who don’t share your commitment to reason - is insane.
