people who brand themselves as rational are the least rational ones out there, you’ll get more reason from a self-described “lsd shaman”

my self-identification is as a person who always makes good decisions. and no, I'm not basing this on any actual decisions I've made.
the scientific method is so important but like, only for researchers, you know?
though even that is a charitable description compared to the reality of "my self-identification is as a person who has accepted a nootropic-fueled Silicon Valley rambleblogger as the True Prophet"
I self-identify as a person who makes good decisions, which is the evidence I use to prove that my decisions are good.
all other decisions aren't good because if they were I would have chose them
I used to be big on rationality until I realized it was, far more frequently than I cared for it to be, code for "only our opinion matters".
I'll leave the subtext for what THAT means hanging out to dry, but it's nothing good.

the most important life advice I've ever gotten that turned out to be true was from a half lsd by weight Trance DJ who was sprawled supine across two digital turntables like a cat, so can't argue with that
