Irrational Decisions

With the scientific method being taught to even young children, rational scepticism being taught, and ample factual information available, I suggest that current irrational decision making can be considered as “wilful ignorance”. Some people choose to ignore factual information and embrace misinformation and disinformation that supports their irrationality.

Never underestimate the allure of life-sustaining illusions for the vast majority of people. Our species is still evolving from tribal organizations that fought for local resources to a global society that must learn to work together for the common good or perish. Sometimes I fear that we will not evolve fast enough to avoid destroying ourselves ... and taking down many other species with us. Stupid humans.
