This website is dedicated to Free Thinkers. I believe in the Pareto Principle (the 80/20 or Vital Few rule). Where 20% of the population are responsible for all the new thought and the rest just sheep following the herd. I enjoy discussing politics, religion, Darwinism, Objectivism and all other edgy topics. Welcome aboard my crazy bus and enjoy the ride.
Reason is man’s tool of knowledge, the faculty that enables him to perceive the facts of reality. To act rationally means to act in accordance with the facts of reality. Emotions are not tools of cognition. What you feel tells you nothing about the facts; it merely tells you something about your estimate of the facts. Emotions are the result of your value judgments; they are caused by your basic premises, which you may hold consciously or subconsciously, which may be right or wrong.
