I thank you for your honesty. At least your being open about your position. Too many times people argue against rationality in disguise, acting like they like it but secretly hating it.

I think, like most philosophies, "rationality" is a framework that works introspectively and not useful for applying to other people.

As soon as an argument becomes "you're not sticking to the of X" it's become fruitless.
