Rationality encapsulated...

From the Enlightened Caveman.

"One thing I like about believing as I do is that I really have nothing invested in my beliefs, with the exception of my admittedly irrational belief in rationality as a superior method of thinking. But beyond that, I could change my mind about anything. Sure, it might be hard to get used to something new, but I'd be OK. All I need is for an assertion to meet my evidentiary requirements, then I'm the first to start exploring the logical consequences of it on my life."
