Also how would one come to recognize reality’s irrationality anyway? By which I should clarify, when I say reality I mean the whole of existence, beyond everyday society which is a mush of reason, emotion, and ambiguous causation. In turn, when I’m talking about irrationality, I don’t mean emotionality or ambiguous causation, but an absence of any underlying reason or cause.

If at some point we reached out and dug deep enough into study of existence only to find that some things simply happen or emerge without any cause whatsoever…What might be the response?

    I imagine those digging would choose to believe they haven’t dug deep enough to understand. It would also be difficult to prove things happen irrationally, and without evidence either way I would expect continued investigation into existence

      I agree with this guy. There would be a percentage that would go “Oh, ok. That’s weird,” and accept it, and there would be some who build a bigger microscope or a smaller rover or something.

      I’d be in the second group. I have massive hands and a lot of glass laying around.
