minus-squareunexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down12·edit-22 months agoThis is a dumb take. Its like saying “math is stupid, because its just a made up system so it doesnt really prove that 1+1=2” Some things are just factually provable and leave no space for unscientific opinions. Not everything is a philosophical question. “Giving starving people food makes them less likely to die.” doesnt require anyones opinion. Its just fact. If people use “rational” to mean their personal opinion, then you just disregard those people, but not the concept of rationality.
