Reverse Rationalism

Reverse Rationalism is a stance which is practically incomprehensible that seeks to be the opposite of what classical rationalism is about, it coniders atheism, anti-theism, laicism, state atheism, scientism, materialism, physicalism, positivism/empirism and naturalism as being irrational while it considers theism, anti-atheism, anti-anti-theism, discidism, state spiritualism, state religion, theocracy, anti-scientism / extrascientism, anti-materialism / extramaterialism, extraphysicalism, post-positivism / post-empirism, spiritualism, spirituality, religion, esoterism, occultism and supernaturalism as being rational, it basically believes that everything considered as irrational by reverse rationalism should be countered while everything considered as rational by reverse rationalism should be promoted and even encouraged.

"Reverse Rationalism makes sense, somehow, if we consider what people like the ones on RationalWiki and on Quora actually do, and how several spiritual, esoteric and occultist groups have a lot of good explanations about reality and existence as well."

rictionary

a reverse dictionary; a yet-to-be-invented online tool similar to a search engine where a user submits a definition or meaning of an unknown term or word and the website attempts to give term or word described, often more than one word will result from a search

I couldn't remember the word for the adjective describing someone who is disposed to being silent or not speaking freely or is reserved, reluctant, or restrained. I used the rictionary at rictionary.com and discovered the word I was searching for was "reticent."

dog reaction

Refers to that clip in a movie/tv show/commercial where a something happens and we see a dog react to it by turning its head to the side to look at it, tilting its head to one side as if confused, or its ears pop up as if to say "wow".

Can sometimes be accompanied by an "arooo?" sound.

Other *animal* reactions exist, most frequently cats and monkeys, but are much less common.

Jason and Geoff are watching a movie.

Jason: "Holy crap, sweet dog reaction!"

Geoff: "Haha, yeah, sweet. That dog is the best dog actor."

RationalWiki

A website that should change its name to "irrationakwiki". It is basically the liberal version of Conservapedia. Rather than spewing bias, fundamentalist christian and ultra conservative views, it instead spews liberal views and has a left-wing bias. However, it is more centre left than far left since it criticises socialism and communism, at least to an extent. The name 'RationalWiki" can also be used to describe fighting bias with bias and looking like a moronic baboon ranting. Basically, RationalWiki is as bad as Conservapedia. Don't use it. It's not as bad as Conservapedia, but it is still biased like all political wikis, news sources (like CNN or Fox News), videos etc.
