I wonder how many (good) teachers tell their students, "If only you
would check your rationality at the door, you would believe what I'm
saying."? To be honest, I think that is absolutely true. If I could
get rid of my rationality I could indeed believe anything and everything.
But I have to ask, is that really what I should want?
