    The human brain is more of a “rationalization engine” than anything else

    Just no. Some people tend to rationalize everything, sometimes post-factum, that much is true, but the quoted statement is just wrong.

    First and foremost, our brain is emotional and impulsive. Consciousness and rationalization comes after, as speech is a learned skill, and we use speech to rationalize in the first place.

    False pretenses are a thing, but it exists to deceive a larger group of people for the benefit of a smaller one. And yes, it means that the deceiver can be the sole beneficiary, even if often than not it isn’t the case.

        aw, thanks :D

        my point still stands tho. I wish people in their variety were more rational, but alas, rationality comes last asit is power-consuming. Not that you seem particularily interested in opposing my stance, so whatever. I do enjoy a silly banter as well, so it’s not like i have anything against this

        wise man once said: “I used to think the human brain was the most interesting aspect of the human body, but then I realized ‘look what’s telling me that’”

        yeah, yeah, our fascination with brain is brain propaganda to make more brains.

        Pesky little parasite trapped inside a box, piloting a sex-mech. An entirely overcomplicated mechanism designed by the dna so that the stupid molecule could fuck more effectively. And look what it lead to — fucking taxes! Are you happy, you microscopic shit!? Cuz i’m not breeding now, so neither do you! Muahaha! You outplayed yourself, you dumb piece of organic chemistry!

        Ahem… Sorry, got a bit distracted… Yeah, brains! So cool! Yaay! :D
