You're almost there. Now see if you can figure out why self-destructive choices can be rational at times? Can you formulate a hypothetical where smoking is a rational decision? I can. | ||

> self-destructive choices can be rational at times It's not a rational choice. It's choosing to make the irrational choice. A drug addict choosing to shoot up isn't making the rational choice. It's a choice we can examine on why they made that choice, but it wasn't reason that drove them to make that choice. Thinking Trump is the anointed one isn't a rational decision. Voting for Trump to get rid of corruption isn't a rational choice. Voting for a rapist in the middle of a big pedophile ring isn't the rational choice at fighting the pedophiles. | ||
