    the goal of being rational is to communicate ideas with others

    Wait, that’s what it’s for!?

    It’s fucking useless for that shit.

      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.
