woha, back up two steps.
As I mentioned on my previous post, there's nothing inherently wrong with irrational thoughts (other than, perhaps, they foster certain fanaticism over the lack of actual provability). Everybody has hopes, dreams... sometimes more achievable than not. I'm not generally one that will mock somebody that believes in religion, or writes an article about the Spaghetti Monster or nanotech on Motherboard.
Irrationality has a measurable cost, however. Writing an irrational article on Gizmodo, at most, will make people have a few laughs once it's completely blasted. Going to war "because god told me so" and destroying thousands of lives, or immolating over 72 virgins, it's a very, very different story.
That's why I was pointing out that when you bring irrationality into a conflict, there's almost no way it doesn't get worse. Basically because if the conflict was about facts before, now you have to frame it against a bunch of nonsense.
