fractalization of reason

I have a small theory that posits that irrationality is most often a misnomer; almost everything we do consciously is done rationally, at some level in our mind. The process might not be familiar, but that does not mean that there is no process.

I tend to focus on emotion-driven stuff when talking about irrationality (as opposed to randomness). Clearly emotions are part of the brain process, but mental processes are not identical to rationality to my mind (yuk yuk). A first quick cut at it: something is rational if you can introspectively apply something resembling logic to it.

"resembling logic"... now those are dangerous words.
