Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

A combination of client-centered therapy, cognitive therapy, and sarcasm, designed by Albert Ellis. REBT acts to remove unreasonable cognitive beliefs, for example, musterbation. Its basic premise is that emotional suffering is due primarily to the often unverbalized assumptions and demands that people carry around with them as they negotiate their own way in life; for example, demanding perfection in oneself and/or in others.

REBT has been shown to reduce self-reports of anxiety in general and specific forms; reduce type A behavior patterns; reduce depression, anger, and, in children, antisocial behavior; and help emotionally healthy people cope better with everyday stress.
Janice's REBT therapist told her she was a control freak and that she was musterbating.

cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

b) (my new and improved English translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying " repeal and replace" old and possibly antiquated laws)
can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to Obamacare?

Rational Anti-Furry

A very small portion of the anti-furry 'cult' that is actually knowledgable unlike the 7-11 olds and the adults that won't grow up out there, AKA the general anti-furry 'community'. These people don't dislike furries in general, except for the ones actually reasonable to hate (eg. P3dos, Corn artists, Toxic people, Fetishizers, and more). Even if they hate them, they don't usually raid/nuke or spy on furry servers, nor do they shove it up the furry's face or do anything to the extreme level about it.
person: look it's an anti-furry
rational anti-furry: no no you misunderstood, i only hate the weird people
person: oh yeah lemme guess, the furry members of lgbtq+?
rational anti-furry: no
person: the femboys or tomgirls?
rational anti-furry: no
rational anti-furry: i'm just talking about the weird ppl that be toxic and make graphic content of it and stuff
person: *realizes* ohhh i understand now
rational anti-furry: :)

intra-rationalism

Postulate that humanity moved from polytheism to monotheism when they switched from uncooked to cooked cuisine.

The idea that changes to your spiritual manifestation are facilitated by changes to your diet.
Intra-rationalism is the hypothesis that belief in a single unity might have been facilitated by cooked food.

It would take the delineation of kosher food in Jewish law as indicative; but not causative of the change to monotheism.

inter-rationalism

The paradigm that your immune system is your personality.
Inter-rationalism asserts that all your elements-of-feeling appear via poly-rationalism into the immune system. Thus the immune system contains the elements of feeling.

Any number that can be written by dividing one integer by another-in plain English, any number that can be written as a fraction or ratio. (An easy way to remember this is to think of rational’s root word “ratio.”)

Rational Mind

You don't have a rational mind though...
Hym "And that's not what happened is it? Your omitting the targeted harassment that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia and you're doing it explicitly because you intend to continue using it in spite of the fact that IT GOT YOUR KIDS MURDERED! Wrap your 'rational mind' around this one... No matter how you slice it... You did it and it got your kids murdered. Broadcasting it to try to convince people that it doesn't proves only that you are, in fact, doing it and the fact that it got your kids murdered is IMMUTABLE."
