hay guys, do you think that humans act generally irrational or rational?

I think both irrationality and rationality are labels humans have defined and placed on one another when in reality, every individual seems to do whatever they prefer to do and "rationalize" it through any means and thus irrationality does not exist.

An example I could explain to you would be a suicide bomber. Westerners would look at that and claim irrationality, when in reality the suicide bomber rationalized that his/her family would be taken care of by the Islamic Political movement for their actions and live better lives, they also rationalize through their belief that their actions will be rewarded by Allah.

So are humans rational or irrational? These are just labels humans have drawn false lines, defined and placed on people.

All people rationalize, even "madmen" from their perspective.
