Reason

Today I thought about this rationality that you so vehemently criticize when we inevitably disagree.

After all these years I stand here wondering if part of the problem isn’t simply semantic. As Phaedrus quickly identified the trap of using quality (as in characteristic, not goodness) when discussing  Quality (as in goodness, not characteristic)  and vice-versa, so I must question if your disconfort really lies with my attempts at applying reasoning to your argument. I mean that maybe you shouldn’t question the results produced by the tools (i.e. my conclusions) but the fact that maybe the tools are incomplete, unfit somehow.

I know what angers me. It isn’t that I use a less than perfect method, but rather that the usage of that method is making you refute the validity of any method.
