Too many definitions required there....

The OS of the mind functions only creatively. It is the filtering of data
and the interpretation and use of the results which are capable of being
acted upon in a rational (or any other) fashion.

Rationality is a program. A good one. It's worked rather well for
hundreds of thousands of years. (Spears discovered from 400,000 years
ago....)

Different versions, mostly alpha tests, of irrationality have been
popping up for an equal period, but none seem to make it to beta
stage....
