Tell me James is rationality a proximate cause for suicide?
.. Certainly depression?
So, how do Homo sapiens, who think (therefore we are man) control
thoughts when rationally is also contrary to nature? (if not, then we do a
horrible job of proving otherwise)
Or, maybe it is truth that is contrary to human nature?
I remember reading that the hijackers who flew those planes into the WTC
were all educated, "rational" young men -- certainly better informed for
having studied the humanities. How does that meld with the idea of
rationality and religion?
