If 90% of the human population can be labeled at "angry and irrational" then the world makes sense.

And I think there are going to be two sets of numbers. One for the general public and one for software engineers.

I think that rational people generally don't get angry.

Two rational people can work together and there will probably never be anger.
A rational person working with an irrational person will probably eventually lead to the irrational person becoming innapropriately angry.
As for judging: It seems to be a step in trying to get to the truth and get to resolution of concerns, issues, etc. You must analyze the situation and if there is some less than helpful information (fallacy, anger spew, irrational ranting), it must be identified and set aside.

Ah! But it makes sense to you because you are (I assume anyway) a fellow irrational human being with a dash of sentimentality! The action of giving something additional value for purely emotional reasons isn't really rational - an emotionless alien from outer space would consider it highly illogical.Originally posted by Paul Wheaton:
You having 20 times more value for the first ring than for the second makes sense to me. There is a reason why that ring has more value to you. That is rational.
