Personally, I find all thought 'rational' in the sense that the brain is used and words and concepts are presented. This even when the words are used in an attempt to express experiences and emotions.
When it comes to thoughts ‘irrational’, one can only guess that in the absence of mere ‘themism’, I also find that when the context is fully understood including knowing any associated axioms and/or tenets, a ‘sense’ can be found. When/if said ‘sense’ does not match one’s own view, it is a wonderful opportunity to play skeptic to one’s own beliefs. I know you were only attempting to be clever clog, so I didn’t need to contemplate this. Sorry. My own skeptic runs amuck now and then.
