Beyond Rationale

 To my fellow brethren,

Your political stance, your political ideology, your construct of what may be more appropriate for the time in our country, which agenda or law allows more freedom or serves to aid and alleviate the american people, should not be an end all be all. 

What do I mean?

When our sons and daughters go to war, when our judges pass judgement, when our kin die from disease, malpractice, accidents, cancer, one must understand, DEATH is not biased. Death does not choose the reds over the blues. 

Then who are we, as Americans, as humans, to dictate how much a person loves and values their country based on the ideology we chose to follow. 

Again, in the selective services act, on the borders, in the streets, the bullets don’t ask if you are a republican or democrat, they just see a human, vulnerable, or present in the moment, and they charge. 

This very agenda, throughout the world, of divide and conquer has many tales told through time. We may decline this narrative today and say, this is not an apt representation of this phrase. But then humor me, what is?

The entities banking on our arguments, our divisiveness, are promoting this hate against our own kin, brother against brother, son against father, daughter against mother, as we have seen this spew division before, over a very moral stance, that being od slavery in this country. Should the people of that time be present today, should the values implemented that caused the division be present today, ask yourself, who would those people, which side would align with your personal ideology more?

You have the books, you have the phones, you have the internet. 

Ironic the state of man. We are on the brink of artificial intelligence yet our very own is dwindling. 

We are fighting over AI deepfakes and evidence that may be falsified yet we ourselves fail to produce any rational evidence for our own arguments. 

We shun AI for misrepresenting facts bc we know some of them to be false or unreliable, yet when the same criteria is implemented to us humans, our debates, our news, our wars, our ideologies, we shun this very concept due to it not aligning with our take.

Rationality is a precursor to intellect. It doesn't go the other way around.

A rational being, is an intelligent being. A rational being is unbiased in their approach to achieving the truth

The “big picture” we are taught in school, is the idea of zooming out once in a while, just like we do in a  wide angle picture, to grasp the entire concept. 

Our own creations are a testament to our rationality, 

Our very DNA is a testament to how god, nature, or whatever you may deem the creator as, has provided us a template , a very evident, a very true template to utiize the errs. A simple nucleotide goes missing or shifted, and we have a whole human messed up. Add a few more over time, and we have a “generational curse.”

A few hundred years ago, someone would have looked at a person with NF1 or NF2, and decided that they are cursed. Today we understand it through the lens of science. 

Why is that? Ideally, it is the rational thing to do right? But who deems that to be the case?

Why are we still not hell bent on it being a “curse from the lord?”

Because we rationally approached this conclusion through ages and years of discovery, 

We took the facts being presented, not the looming illusion of a creator being mad or a curse gone wrong. 

A famous line from a movie or a scientist that I heard once, is that everything magical is just waiting for science to prove it. 

I am not claiming for you to believe in everything scientific. No, science also gets things wrong. 

But nature, DOES NOT. 

Let’s for once in our years of existence, use this logic, this template nature has provided, and actually apply this on our own rationality. 

Use facts when you want to debate, not emotion.

Use evidence to prove or disprove something that is being said. Be it your congressman, your president, your prime minister, your king. 

Humans, we were supposed to be on the advent of exploring the worlds around us…..

Yet today we are afraid to open our own hearts to the fundamentals of rationale.
