Quote:
MM: Rational persons (in any particular context) are simply those for whom rationality provides sufficient emotional rewards (in that context) for them to follow their rationality - rather than other sources of emotion.
More specifically, this means that their belief systems are populated with beliefs that have been tested rationally.

Yes MM, I of course can understand how you “feel compelled by your emotions†to “believe†that “rational persons†are “simply those for whom rationality provides sufficient emotional rewardsâ€â€”because for you, believing that “rationality†(although you don’t, and can’t, define specifically what “rationality,†or your so-called “institutionalized rationality,†is or how it could ever be objectively defined/identified/discerned) provides sufficient emotional rewards for “rational persons†(although again you don’t, and can’t, define specifically who/what a “rational person†is or how such a person could ever be objectively defined/identified/discerned), is obviously what makes you yourself feel good, and, using your “axiom,†you’ve “used your brains to justify it.†Hello?
