Rationality

This blog's title refers to the hypothesis that it is humankind's potential for reasoning that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.

This rationality has such benefits as

• the ability to delay gratification
• the ability to engage one another in complex, metaphysical debates
• the ability to become suicidal based on the confusion generated by complex, metaphyscial reflections (see also my upcoming blog, EmotionAlley)

My other hypothesis is that it's our penchant for public self-disclosure to complete strangers (verbal exhibitionism). Hence I decided to start up my own blog in order to explore the question of whether I too have such exhibitionist tendencies. Apparently I do.
