Episode 7.03: We choose our rationality to serve the kind of tribe or person we want to be.

We like to think that there is only one rationality. But in fact there are as many rationalities as there are sets of assumptions about which we choose to be rational. We choose those assumptions depending upon our passions, upon the kind of person that we want to be, and our rationality and those passions together define or constitute the kind of person we are. All human conflict arises from and can be explained by this state of affairs.
