We need to practice at being irrational.
However, if we practice being irrational every now and then, our minds can become familiar with what irrationality is.
Sounds rational. How does one go about doing this? Should you do this in public? In front of the police? My girlfriend?
Should I join a different forum where I take on the role of creationist? Negotiate the price of my morning coffee with the young ladies at the QuickTrip? Refuse to acknowledge the usual and customary meaning of a stop light? Walk in and just set myself up in the president's office?
How would one know if this "practice" is sufficiently irrational? Do I get arrested? slapped? And If I am not irrational enough to get in trouble for it how can I be sure I was really being irrational?
Another problem, if you could, please. If I practice being irrational it is because I recognize what irrational is. If I have fallen into an actual bout of irrationality it is because I recognize my actions as being rational. Even after practicing being irrational and knowing it doesn't fell rational how would I even suspect?
I'm thinking, rationally, that maybe I have no idea what you're getting at. Got any examples?
